I can tell you that it CAN work.  This is how I initially tested a few things,
but I think I used CentOS 4.5, and initially configured via the GUI.

Not terribly helpful, I know, except to say that it CAN work on VMWare.

  I have only one harddisk,with Windows XP, which have one partition unformatted
on it.
  On Windows I installed VMWare Server with 2 virtual machines, with SLES 10.
  On each virutal machine, I add a harddisk based on logical drive, and when I
have to specify the type of HDD, it's only IDE type,as in attachement(not
SCSI as I read in documentation).
  With ocfs2console I configure those logical drive(/dev/hda6) to be shared by
node1 and node2 on /u01(on both nodes, I  have oracle rights on it).

  On node1 and node2, at command
  #mounted.ocfs2 -d /dev/hda6
  it response both nodes the same UUID and
  I have the directory

/sys/kernel/config/cluster/<name_cluster=ocfs2>/heartbeat/8C8EF....7CD3XXYY
  where 8C8EF....7CD3XXYY=UUID (from mounted.ocfs2 -d)
  ON BOTH NODES is the same UUID!!

  When I make dir.on node1:
  $mkdir /u01/abc
  (where /u01 is the directory that share the logical disk /dev/hda6,formatted
as OCFS2)
  I can't view the new directory on node2,neither inverse

  Can I use the logical disk on the same harddisk? where I mistake or what I
must complete to view the new directory made on node1 simultanously on node2?
  I received one answer like  the reserve on VmWare on Windows,
  Thanks for all and I'm waiting your answer!
