    Ahh.. Sorry. We use it for a clustered file system.
     
    They only way I know to do what you want is to script the change.

    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 ?
