Hi,

        Perhaps is not the best place to ask, but I dont know where to
learn about this.

        I want to connect two SunFireV480 nodes to a Storedge 3310 JBOD
array and be able to share the data.

        What I have at this moment is a single server with two SCSI
controllers (in a PCI card) and 6 drives in the array. 3 drives attached
to one bus and other 3 to the other bus and the drives mirrored 1+1
with SDS (three mount points). Here runs the "main" database

        What I want to do is (if possible) to share the 3 mirrors with a
second server. The second server will run separate processes (a preview
database) and dont have to write files of the first, but in case of
faillure of the main server I want to be able to shutdown the main server
and manually start the main database processes from the second server,
with the data in the array.

        Need I Veritas? Sun Cluster 3.x? Remote mirroring &
Point-In-Time Copy software? (Hope I dont :) Have you a comprensive
tutorial about this topic?

Regards,
        Jordi Vidal
