Setup Virtual SQL Cluster

Has anyone is the group test or actually set up a productive SQL Cluster in VMWare?

Not yet, no. We do run some standalone DB servers, but no clusters yet. We are running some app clusters in our dev/cert environments though.

I used to run SQL clusters in VMware 2.5x. However trying it is 3.x has given me problems and I have a ongoing case w/ VMware. The cluster "loses" its disk and fails over constantly.

Have you and VMWare come up with a solution with the clustering?
