VMware GSX Server Administration Guide

You are finished creating the virtual machine for the first node in your cluster. 
The next step is to create the second node in your cluster. Then, for each node, 
install the guest operating system and VMware Tools. 

Next, create the second node of the cluster by following the same procedure for 
creating the first node listed above with the following changes:

Use Cluster2 as the virtual machine name.

Use D:\Netware6\Cluster2 as the virtual machine directory (on a 
Windows host) or /home/Netware/Cluster2 (on a Linux host). 

For information on installing NetWare 6.0 or 6.5 in a virtual machine, see the VMware 
Guest Operating System Installation Guide. It is available from the Help menu or from 
the VMware Web site at 

. Make 

sure you follow the instructions for bridged networking.

When the installation is complete, install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. 
See 

 in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.

After you finish installing the guest operating system and VMware Tools, clone the 
virtual machine. (Later, you create the second cluster node using the clone.) 

You are finished creating the first cluster node. You may now clone that node for use 
in creating other nodes. 

Be sure to read the known issues for NetWare 6.0 or 6.5 in the installation guidelines.

Follow the procedure outlined in 

 in the 

VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide to create and add two shared preallocated 
virtual disks to the first node (called Cluster1). These disks are shared between both 
nodes and include:

A shared data disk (call it data.vmdk, for example).

A shared quorum disk (call it quorum.vmdk, for example).

Note:  Use the Advanced option when adding the preallocated virtual disks from the 
virtual machine settings editor to select SCSI virtual device nodes for the disks.

After you finish creating the virtual disks, add them to the second node by completing 
the following steps.
