Hi LiShan,
last time I tried something similar I found out that the 'shared disk
parameters' (mainly scsi1.sharedBus ) were not supported on the
workstation version of vmware I was using, although they worked there as
well (at least I managed setup a 2 'virtual' node 9i rac).
Those parameter were (are?) only documented for the server version of
vmware (see for example vmware GSX documentation).
Cheers,
L.

Subject: vmware vmx parameters
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
LSC
