Clustering with a NAS

[sohtnax]

I am trying to cluster two advanced servers for the first time. Is it possible to use a NAS device as the shared storage?

If so, does anyone know of any white papers that can help me?

MSCS uses a quorum disk for cluster control- i.e. it must see the device as a local disk from all cluster members and be able to issue SCSI reservations for it. This cannot be done on a NAS device.

Again, this may be possible with the new and improved clustering service available in Windows 2003. You can have a local quorum...Check into it.
