Hello, Unless you have a cluster file system in place what you are seeing is expected. Each node believes it owns that volume exclusively. There's nothing in iSCSI or SCSI protocol to address this. A write from one node doesn't tell the other node to update its cached image of that disk. Without a file system to handle that process there's no workaround.
