scsi raid tower accessible from 2 or more servers

Hi all,

Does a beast like this exist?

scsi raid tower sorage device accessible from 2 or more servers.

I'd like to connect 2 servers using scsi to a storage tower where both servers can have access to the sames files. Is there something available that will allow me to do this?

Regards,

Victor

btw. I'd like to do this with a direct scsi connection to the drive tower, not using the network.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

If the RAID tower supports more than one channel then you can attach 1 server to one channel and another to the other but that does NOT mean they'll share the same drives PER channel. Drives 1-4 might be on channel0 and drives 5-8 on channel1 for example.

Hope that helps,
