We would have been doing that as well since everything lives on the SAN, but
that only provides access redundancy if the server fails, it doesn’t provide
data redundancy or location transparency as DFS does.

Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] MS Cluster shared storage
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.

Hi,
I am not well versed with MS Cluster.
Basically I will be using a 2 node Windows cluster.
The requirement is to have a shared storage (shared drive) that should be
mapped to 2 nodes in the same time, where the application installed on those
nodes can view the data located on this shared drive on the same time.
Now the question is, how the shared drive should be configured? ISCSI, DFS
etc. What are the pros & cons?
Thanks you for any assistance
Regards
Mathew
