SCSI bus sharing error with raw mapping on Suse Enterprise

Hi!

We have two Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (64bit) that we want to share a raw mapped disk between, but as we mapp the disk to one of the VM's we can't mapp it to the other, the choice "Raw device mapping" is not possibly to select. Why is like this? In 3.0.x we didn't have this problem at all. We managed to do a workaround by configuring the disk at the same time on both VM's, but this can not be the right way?

And now we have another problem, because the VM's woulden't start if we placed the raw mapped disk on the same controller (scsi controller 0) as the OS system disk we added another controller (scsi controller 1) and placed the raw mapped disk on this one. Now the vm does start but when we try to do a vmotion it reports "Virtual machine is configured to use a device that prevents migration: Device 'SCSI controller 1' is a scsi controller engaged in scsi bus-sharing"

Does anyone know what we are doing wrong and how to get this right?

Thanks

F
