Thanks to all for your help!
I will not connect the machines in that way, data integrity
is the most important issue we consider. The SCSI device
that is intended to be shared holds over 100G data and will
grow to 300Gb by the end of the year, and the
last thing I want to happen is for it to be corrupted.
Do you know of any external hardware that allows you to
connect multiple servers to a scsi device??
Again thanks for your help..
