Quorum Cluster Functionality in Vmware 7

I've tried to get clustering working to use a Quorum disk and the basic steps that used to work in 5.5 give me variable errors with 7. Has anyone done this using 7? (I know that the official line is not supported in a production environment but really, Vmware is for our test environments too so...)

Here are the changes to the vmx file that I have added:

' Add the following lines to create a second SCSI channel:

scsi1.present = “TRUE”

scsi1.virtualDev = “lsilogic”

' Modify the additional hard drives to be attached to the new SCSI channel. Example:

scsi1:5.present = “TRUE”

scsi1:5.fileName = “I:\Cluster Shared\Quorum.vmdk”

scsi1:6.present = “TRUE”

scsi1:6.fileName = “I:\Cluster Shared\Data.vmdk”

' Add the following lines to disable disk locking and caching:

disk.locking = “false”

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = “0″

Thanks in advance,

Nb
