Stephen, - and all.
Being an HP admin by default, you kind of caught me by surprise when you
said that:
>> SCSI controllers, allow both controllers to connect to two
servers and sharing the same file system. You can
configure a LUN number on it and mount it on both
servers.
Are we suggesting that an admin could have DB files on an individual PV
that is linked between two systems(easily done) and have them mounted
at that same time without data corruption(didn't think this was possible -
I am familiar with the concept of the 'devices' being visible from two
systems,
but I didn't think both could mounted without the ownership of one of those
PV's or
devices being marked inactive(ServiceGuard package failover for example).
This is not a flame, so please excuse my ignorance..
Christopher.

Actually, HP has a device called "AutoRaid", it has dual
SCSI controllers, allow both controllers to connect to two
servers and sharing the same file system. You can
configure a LUN number on it and mount it on both
servers. Any change on one server will be visible
by another server. It is not very expensive.
