Oracle 10g RAC install problem with shared disk (Win 2003)

I am running GSX v3.0.0. build-7592 and am having trouble installing Oracle 10g RAC using two Windows 2003 server VMs and a shared disk.

I have run through the steps as specified by Oracle, and

the Oracle 10g install goes OK until it tries to start the OracleCSService (in the config step), which hangs and eventually gives the errors:

vtabjva5 service OracleCSService in improper PENDING state, err(997)

vtabjva6 service OracleCSService in improper PENDING state, err(997)

My last attempt resulted in the Windows 2003 VMs hanging on startup.

The VMX files for both VMs look like this:

Can anybody see any problems with ths scsi0:x settings?

Any help would be appreciated.
