[ale] Multiple servers, 1 shared disk?

[Jeff Lightner]

We do it on a CX700 - we're running Oracle RAC on the shared disks.
The shared filesystems are OCFS (Oracle Cluster Filesystem).  This is on
two RHEL3 servers.   It seems you could do it on a CX3 just as easily.


Did you install Navisphere and PowerPath on the Linux hosts?

  Has anyone set up a system where one shared disk such as an EMC CX3
is direct attached via FC and multiple machines access the same file
system?  Preferably without installing a NAS head on the EMC to share
out via NFS/CIFS?
