When a shared disk is used for high availability purposes, the current machine that is
running the application and using the shared data often reserves the disk using a SCSI
command.
If the bus sharing is physical, commands that reserve, reset or release a shared virtual
disk are transmitted through to the physical disk, so other machines sharing the disk
can properly detect when a virtual disk has been reserved or reset. Therefore, when
you are sharing disks among virtual machines across physical machines for high
availability purposes, it is often best to put only a single VMFS with a single virtual disk
on each shared disk — that is, have only one virtual disk per physical disk. In such a
configuration, each virtual disk can be reserved and released independently.
