SUBJECT: FreeNAS clustering in VMWare Workstation

I'm SQL DBA and tried to setup a test lab in VMWare Workstation 8.

I created 3 virtual servers:
--- Computer 1 - Installed Window Sever 2008 R2 x64
- Joined the Domain e.g: contoso.com
- Network Card 1 - Host Only (VMWare)
IP Address: 10.10.0.25
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Blank
DNS 1: 10.10.0.10
- Network Card 2: Host Only (VMWare)
Default setting.
- 6 GB RAM
- 500 GB Disk space.

--- Computer 2 - Installed Window Sever 2008 R2 x64
- Joined the Domain e.g: contoso.com
- Network Card 1 - Host Only (VMWare)
IP Address: 10.10.0.26
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: Blank
DNS 1: 10.10.0.10
- Network Card 2: Host Only (VMWare)
Default setting.
- 6 GB RAM
- 500 GB Disk space.

--- Computer 3 - Installed FreeNas
- 6GB RAM
- 60 GB Disk Space
- Network Card 1 - Host Only (VMWare)
- Network Card 2 - Host Only (VMWare)
- Hard Disk (SCSI) 1000 GB
--Hard Disk (SCSI) 1000 GB
-- Hard Disk (SCSI) 1000 GB
-- Hard Disk (SCSI) 1000 GB

First, I installed FreeNAS in Computer 3 and the installations completed. The URLS to access the web user interface
--- http://192.168.19.194
--- http://192.168.19.197

Then, I login the sites. I changed the user id and password. Then, I created the storage, targets, device extents, associated targets, etc.

Second, I login to Computer 1 and Computer 2. Then, I run the iSCSi Initiator and setup and configured.
Third, I opened Microsoft Failover Cluster Manager and I run the cluster validation.

The Cluster validation prompt errors --> List Potential Cluster Disks Failed
"There are multiple disks with identifier fa1d6d3"

Can anyone please help and advise.
or
Can someone guides me the step by step how to setup FreeNAS clustering in VMWare Workstation 8?

I'm very appreciated your kind help.

Thanks,
Edwin
