networks, switch zoning and RAID issues just to name a few.

If this is a critical system get professional help.

Hi,
In a SAN enviornment, can two servers have access to the same storage device
at the the same time?
I want to implement a failover, one server doing all the writing, the other
only read from the disk. If one server goes down, the other will do both.
Is this possible and normal way to use SAN?

Where do you configure this, on server, storage or switch?
Thanks
