I think the OP means that there won't be any service using shared storage (ie: 
service runs on node1 and node2 simultaneously sharing one database on disk). 
The SAN, of course, provides shared storage to the nodes. At least that's how I 
read it.

ocf:Filesystem resources mount and unmount SAN based file systems nicely. Works 
for iSCSI too. I haven't used NFS, so far, though I don't see how it would be 
any different, really, since it's just mount / umount.
