You did the same thing I did except for the uuid and I bet that is they key tank you very much I bet this fixes the problem. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of carlopmart Sent: Friday, June 29, 2007 2:18 PM To: linux clustering Subject: Re: a cluster in a cluster steven holmes wrote: > this is what i used do you have the recipe you used > > */carlopmart <carlopmart@xxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: > > > > steven holmes wrote: > > has any one tried to build a storage cluster and then build > vmware on > > those hosts and make vm windows cluster accros the 2 hosts. > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > -- > > Linux-cluster mailing list > > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster > > Yes, using RHEL4.4 cluster suite, vmware server 1.0.3, and rhel4.4 > guests with rhcs and vmware-tools installed (very important).

I think that this should work with rhel5, but I haven't test it .... -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
