What steps did you take for adding that shared disk to your guests VMs in the first place?

Fact:
In OVM, we have a shared disk option for virtual disks but this option will just ensure that you will be able to use the same virtual disk with two guest VMs and if you don't use a cluster aware filesystem with this virtual disk then you won't be able to use the disk as shared disks..

In your case; Oracle complains about the disk is already in use.. So I guess you are missing somethings there..
