We do this with shared iSCSI drives hosted on SAN storage. The important thing is do NOT allow both severs to access the iSCSI disks at the same time or they will become corrupted very quickly. I found this out when setting up a new iSCSI disk that I mounted on both servers, but I had not added the drive to the cluster configuration yet, so both servers were allowed to access the disk at the same time.
