I have a MSA 2012 with MSA 2300i controllers and I wish to share the data in a single LUN with two servers with Windows Server 2008 Ent.
Data written by Server A should be seen by Server B
AND
In case where Server A is down, Server B should be able to write to the same data.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Share a single LUN on MSA with two servers
that's not possible. NTFS isn't cluster-aware and the file system will be corrupted if two nodes will access it. Windows will access the MFT, even if you don't write to the filesystem.

Re: Share a single LUN on MSA with two servers
The idea here is to have two web servers accessing the same files located at a common space.

Re: Share a single LUN on MSA with two servers
Well, you can use host monitoring software on server B to monitor server A availability and if server A is down some how, these software would allow you to fire some scripts/commands from which you can mount LUNs on server B.
Other solution would be using server C to mount LUN and then using windows sharing, you can access it from both server A & B.
After all your the one with setup ready, do some R&D and you will get succeed...
