VMWare Fusion 3 and Shared Disks

November 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Those of you who’ve tried will know that VMWare Fusion 2 did not officially support shared disks. It was still possible to do this, but it was not ideal. Well this has now changed. VMWare Fusion 3 supports shared vdisks!

To enable this:
1.) Create a new disk and add it to all the virtual machines that will be sharing it.

Fusion3_add_shared_disks
2.) Add the following setting to the configuration file of each of the virtual machines that needs to access the shared disk: disk.locking = “FALSE”

3.) Use a cluster filesystem to prevent any corruption issues.

Cheers
F.
