I did something like this years ago and it worked, but somehow I still
have a bad feeling about doing it ;-)
It only gets tricky, when you have two machines claiming to be the same
server...;-)
It was using FibreChannel devices, which are very easy to 'move'.
It included moving the IP address of the fileserver as well, to avoid
the syncvldb and syncserv headache.
Yes, FibreChannels are very good for that.
Thinking more about that, you could have even the root-partition on the
external storage. Having a boot-cdrom with the right kernel+modules, all
you need to do is to plug it into the standby machine and boot it off
the cdrom. Kind of manual server virtualization...
