Double check your steps against this -

8/16/2005 10:21:10 PM    SQL Server Cluster on Virtual Server 2005
Hi!  
  
I'm currently prepairing a SQL Server Cluster on Virtual Server 2005  
  
according the documentation on  
  
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/installing_sql_clustering_virtual_server1.asp  
  
But when I've added the shared SCSI disk as described I can only start the  
  
first node in the cluster.  
  
When I want to start the second node I get the following error message from  
  
Virtual Server 2005:  
  
"SQLClusterNode2"encountered an error when attempting to use one of its  
  
virtual hard disks.  
  
"The virtual hard disk "D:\SQL Server 2005 Cluster\Shared  
  
Data\SharedArray.vhd" for the slave device of IDE bus 1 of "SQLClusterNode2"  
  
could not opened with read-write access. You need read-write access to the  
  
virtual hard disk to boot a virtual machine. Another virtual machine or the  
  
Virtual Disk Manager might be using this disk right now."  
  
Any suggestions?  
  
Thanks

Correct! Microsoft clustering uses the shared nothing model.

Hi Rodney!  
  
As far as I have seen from this article, I  must configure the Cluster  
  
Services on each node before I can use the shared disk?  
  
Thanks

Ah yes, you need to use virtual SCSI interfaces, not IDE for cluster  
  
quorum disks. Virtual Server 2005 (and, indeed, real servers) won't  
  
support running shared disks on an IDE bus. You're more than welcome to  
  
try it though - I'm intrigued to see the results ;-)
