    Rod ,

    Looks like polyserve is clustering product like HACMP,VCS etc. RAC (real
    Application Cluster ) is taking care of clustering .
    I am stuck at SAN /OSlevel as these two servers cannot use shared SAN
    storage at the same time but if I halt one server then storage
    becomes available to other . Am I missing anything here ?

    Thanks
    SD

    Subject: Concurrent Storage Question


    Hi All,


    This is slightly off topic question so please bear up with me . I am
    working on proof of concept project (Oracle9i RAC on redhat Enterprise
    Linux) and need some help in understanding concurrent access.
    I have a shared SAN storage allocated to two linux servers (server A
    and B) Everything works fine except these servers cannot use shared
    storage at the same time. If I mount partions /file systems on server A,
    server B can’t use it but If I halt server A and reboot server B
    then it becomes available to server B. Oracle9i RAC requires concurrent
    access to SAN storage, i.e. serverA and serverB need concurrent access to
    San storage .
    Does anyone know in general how to configure concurrent storage? How do
    we configure storage for HACMP (concurrent)? The storage is allocated
    from SAN as a shared storage ,is there any kind of SCSI lock in Linux ?
