Both VMware Cloud on AWS and VMware vSAN (6.7 Update 3) support clustered VMDK(s) as a disk resource for WSFC. Support for clustered VMDKs on VMFS for on-premises versions of vSphere is yet to be introduced. Windows Clustering in VMware Workstation 5. Disk 2: This will be the shared data disk. Make this at least 2.0 GB and allocate all disk space now. Close VMware Workstation and edit the VMware Configuration File (.VMX) file for this machine and make the following changes.
- Vmware 6.7 Windows Cluster Shared Disk
- Vmware Windows Cluster Shared Disk Pro
- Vmware Windows Cluster Shared Disk Usb
- Vmware Shared Disk Cluster
I have a problem.
Since the last windows update my shared volume in the cluster does not behave.
The owner node has write issues. If I try to rename or delete a file I created, I get the error 0x80070542.
It's not a permission issue, since it behaves the same for the admin or the user.
Moving the owner to the other node will make the problem go away, but it will be present on the other server that has become the owner. OS: Windows 2012 R2
I managed to replicate the issue on a new test deployment

Title says it all.. trying to find out if I can set up a sharded vmdk-based disk between two VMs using Workstation 12.5. I do systems admin (part of which is testing automated builds) and I'm wanting to simulate a SuSE cluster setup using shared disk as STONITH device per a requirement of an app env we have. I know I can do this kind of thing in vbox if necessary, but I'm trying to keep parity with our prod esx-based environment so I'm trying to transition my work to vmware-workstation.
Any pointers, I'd appreciate it. Most every search I do seems to only respond with Server/ESX-based scenarios. :/ (edit: teh speels is hadr)
