Shared disk creation using VMWare

Y.RamletJun 21 2012 — edited Jun 22 2012
Grid version:11.2
Guest OS : Solaris 10
Host OS : Windows 7
Virtualization software: VM Ware workstation 8

I want to install GI 11.2 on my laptop.

I was under the impression that shared LUNs for grid installation can only be created using Openfiler. But according to the below document it is possible

http://www.dannorris.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/2008_341_norris_ppr.pdf

But Dan Norris says "+VMWare Workstation has a limitation related to disk sharing, so that’s one reason we’re using VMWare Server (which has no such restriction).+"

I don't know which version of VMWare Workstation is he talking about. Is it possible to create shared LUNs using VM Ware workstation 8 (which I have ) ?
