RE: vmware vmx parameters

Hi Li Shan,

 

I'm afraid I don't know the reasoning behind the parameters you have listed.
I may help to know that I am only using these parameters with VMware 5.0
which allow RAC on my external USB2 drive to run just fine.

 

disk.locking = "false"

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"

Hi

 

I am installing a 2 node 10gR2 RAC in my labtop using vmware. I have come
across some doubts

 

Setup:

-------------------------------------------

Host OS: Windows XP PRO SP2

Guest OS: CentOS 4.2

VMWare Workstations 5.0

 

I am using a external USB Drive for all this setup, both Virtual Machines
and the shared storage.

I have questions regarding vmware parameters, to start with does anyone know
what does these paraneters do? (I understand they are used for Shared
Storage). The best list I have found is here:
http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com/vmware/vmxfiles.htm

 

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"
scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

 

I cant find anything in Vmware documentation which explains about these
parameters. Since I am going to use them I would like to know at least what
am I doing :-)

 

Regards
