Vmware ESX server cannot open the virtual disk "vmfs/volumes/.../vm1/vm1_2.vmdk" for clustering, please verify thatthe virtual disk was created using the 'thick' option. cannot open the disk

Dear All,

We are going to deploy oracle RAC and create two Virtual machine. We have also created some hard disks and shared on both the VMs. We have creates the disk using thickeagerzero format. Now i am made the following changes in .vmx file of both the vms to avoid the locking of disk.

disk.locking = "false"

scsi0.sharedBus = "virtual"

After that when we power on the vm the subject error occurred.
