RE: Shared Disk Oracle RAC

        Now I had to install Oracle clusterware which need shared storage to create OCR/Voting files and our Sysadmin has provided a QA environment where two Linuz server are present and they are attached the HBA to the Shared EMC storage. Storage is avaialble only on one server and one sysadmin says that it is not possible to provide the shared storage on both server so that both can write to each other. One of them says that it is possible but this is some EMC configuration and so it has to go to EMC support. I am not sysadmin and so can somebody give me some idea so that I can check with them. Sysadmin says that if we stop the one of the server, then the space will be automatically visible on other server but not the same time. Is there way I can tell them to check some information in the configuration.

...this is only true if there is SCSI reservations happening. In the model you
are pursuing SCSI reservation will get in your way...get rid of it....then
you are on the fast track to all sorts of fun...
