Hi!

I put the rdmfilter to false as well. But I cannot get the vmotion to work? Are there some other settings that you have?

Our goal would be to have 3 VM's to see one shared RDM (or .vmdk even better) with HA/DRS and vMotion enabled. Guest os is linux and we would like to run ocfs2 accross them. Has anyone succeeded with this kind of configuration?

If I setup SCSI bus sharing = virtual, I guess Vmotion will not work because after Vmotioning one VM, it would reside on a different host from the other VMs, am I right? Is there a way to use virtual bus sharing and still be able to Vmotion all of the VMs to another host for maintenance?

If I setup SCSI bus sharing = physical, Vmotion is disabled, I'm not sure why. Is there a way to work around this?

If I setup RDM for the shared disk, everything is fine except that apparently it's not possible to migrate two VMs to the same host. Is there a specific problem that arises with this? Since we have 3 VMs and 3 hosts, when we need ot shut down one host for maintenance, two VMs would need to be on the same host temporarily.

The clustering is not like MS cluster in the way that it doesn't really utilize the SCSI reservations and the main function is not to have bulletproof failover capabilities - just to share the disk for non-performance-critical storage. How could I make this work?

Best regards,

Andy
