Add Hard Disks to Additional Nodes for Clusters on One Physical Host

To allow shared access to clustered services and data, point the quorum disk of the second node to the same location as the first node’s quorum disk. Point shared storage disks to the same location as the first node’s shared storage disks.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, obtain the following information:

• Which virtual device node is for the first virtual machine's shared storage disks (for example, SCSI (1:0)).
• The location of the quorum disk specified for the first node.

Procedure

1. In the vSphere Client, select the newly created virtual machine, right-click and select Edit Settings.
2. Click the New device drop-down menu, select Existing Hard Disk, and click Add.
3. Select the same virtual device node you chose for the first virtual machine’s shared storage disks (for example, SCSI (1:0)), and click OK.
   Note: The location of the virtual device node for this virtual machine’s shared storage must match the corresponding virtual device node for the first virtual machine.
4. In Disk File Path, browse to the location of the quorum disk specified for the first node.
