Hi, I have a fibre channel multi drive tape libary and would like higher 
avalability.

the tape drives have an A and B fibre port

I have two servers I can use as storage daemons for this single storage 
resource

server 1 is connected directly to the FC A ports on the drives

server 2 is directly connected to the FC B ports on the drives

What is the conventional way to do this setup?

 Currently I am thinking of using pacemaker to have a floating IP between 
the servers and a single storage daemon running

On failover the current job will be cancelled but I dont see a way around 
this - using a single virtual machine is not going to work with pcie 
passthrough or host device passthrough with my hypervisor 

I could set up the tape drives to be assesable over iscsi initators as 
another way and put the storage daemons on the director VM but this seems 
more compelx and risky.

details on sharing tape over iscsi here

Anyone done a similar setup? any advice?
