7 Click OK to complete creating the disk.
The wizard creates a new hard disk.
8 In the New Virtual Machine - Edit Seings dialog box, expand SCSI controller and select the Change
Type drop-down menu.
9 Select the appropriate type of controller, depending on your operating system.
Operating System Type of Controller
Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2
LSI Logic Parallel
Windows Server 2008 SP2 and
above
LSI Logic SAS
Windows Server 2008 SP2 and

VMware Paravirtual
For supported guest operating systems see Table 6-2.
10 Click OK.
11 In the New Virtual Machine - Edit Seings dialog box, expand SCSI controller and select the SCSI Bus
Sharing drop-down menu. Set SCSI Bus Sharing to Physical and click OK.
The virtual machine is connected to a public network and a private network with two virtual switches, and
is connected to the quorum disk on FC SAN and the virtual machine virtual disk on local or remote storage.
Add Hard Disks to Additional Nodes for Clusters Across Physical
Hosts
To allow shared access to clustered services and data, point the quorum disk of the second node to the same
location as the rst node’s quorum disk. Point shared storage disks to the same location as the rst node’s
shared storage disks.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, obtain the following information:
n
Which virtual device node is for the rst virtual machine's shared storage disks (for example, SCSI
(1:0)).
n
The location of the quorum disk specied for the rst node.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client navigator, select the newly created virtual machine, right-click and select
Edit .
2 Click the New device drop-down menu, select Existing Hard Disk, and click Add.
3 In Disk File Path, browse to the location of the quorum disk specied for the rst node.
4 Select Physical as the compatibility mode and click Next.
5 Select the same virtual device node you chose for the rst virtual machine’s shared storage disks (for
example, SCSI (1:0)), and click OK.
N The location of the virtual device node for this virtual machine’s shared storage must match the
corresponding virtual device node for the rst virtual machine.
6 Click OK.
The wizard creates a new hard disk.
