Hi gang.
I need a server running most of the time daily ( 99.99 % not needed)
I'm considering about a SCSI cabinet of drives attached to a
couple of servers and I've been advised HP MSA-500. My only problem
is the vendor only supplies hardware and won't help me about linux
issues. They tell me no problem with W2k.

I'd love to hear some hints about 2 linux connected to the same
storage device. I'd be cool to have the spare server take control
of the SCSI drive RW with heartbeat or something like this.

Thank you for your time.
