Oracle 2nd node fails to start in cluster due to locking

$

Greetings,

 

I’m attempting to setup an oracle cluster (ASM) with shared disks on elinux 5.8. I modified the vmx file with the parameters below to supposedly allow disk sharing between the nodes:

 

 

disk.locking = "FALSE"

diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"

diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"

diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"

diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"

diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"

 

scsi1.present = "TRUE"

scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

scsi1.sharedBus = "VIRTUAL"

 

scsi1:1.present = "TRUE"

scsi1:1.mode = "independent-persistent"

scsi1:1.fileName = "

/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test1/test1_1.vmdk"

scsi1:1.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk"

scsi1:1.redo = ""

 

 

I can start either node separately, however if I start them both, the second fails because the first has the file locked.

 

From the log:

 

Apr 13 13:00:45.313: vmx| DISK: OPEN '/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test2_1/test2.vmdk' Geo (1958/255/63) BIOS Geo (0/0/0)

Apr 13 13:00:45.397: vmx| DISK: OPEN scsi0:1 '/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test1/test1_1.vmdk' independent-persistent R[]

Apr 13 13:00:45.437: vmx| AIOGNRC: Failed to open '/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test1/test1_1-flat.vmdk' : Failed to lock the file (67) (0x2017).

 

Does anyone out there know how to setup disks in VM that can be shared by multiple nodes?

 

Thanks!
