For VxVM you'll need "Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability for Linux" package which is available for free on Symantec web page (last time I checked it was a trial package, so not really "free").
by adding several disks to a virtual machine won't help you to achieve a functional cluster because disks cannot be deported to the other node . Solution is install openfiler OS which emulates a storage array as a VM and from there start allocating disks to targets , it has a really nice web interface to make your life easier . If you are interested how to do it please let me know i can help with that. Have a good day.
