5. Use the VMware Virtual Disk Manager to change the name of the virtual disk to
SQL2*.vmdk . At a command prompt, type:
vmware-vdiskmanager -n SQL1.vmdk SQL2.vmdk
For more information about the virtual disk manager, see Using VMware Virtual
Disk Manager in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
You are finished cloning the first node. You are now ready to create the second node
in the cluster using the clone.
Creating the Second Node in the Cluster from the Clone of the First Node
Follow these steps to create the second node in the cluster using the clone of the first
node:
1. Log on to your GSX Server host as the user who will own the virtual machine.
2. Launch a VMware Virtual Machine Console and create a new virtual machine (for
information on creating a new virtual machine, see Creating a New Virtual
Machine in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide). Choose the settings
you want (for example, the size of the virtual disk or the amount of memory), but
make sure you specify:
• Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition as
the guest operating system.
• SQL2 as the virtual machine name.
• The virtual machine directory as d:\cluster\SQL2 (on a Windows host)
or /home/cluster/SQL2 (on a Linux host).
• Bridged networking for the virtual machine.
• To use an existing virtual disk, click Browse and select SQL2.vmdk.
3. Open the virtual machine settings editor. Choose VM > Settings.
4. Add a new network adapter that uses either another external adapter or the
VMnet1 host-only adapter. For information, see Adding and Modifying Virtual
Network Adapters in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
5. Add the two virtual disks (quorum.vmdk and data.vmdk) you previously
created. For information, see Adding Virtual Disks to a Virtual Machine in the
VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide. Make sure you select Use an existing
virtual disk and browse to quorum.vmdk and data.vmdk.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the virtual machine settings editor.
