Assuming (e.g.) ID6 and 7 for the 2 Adaptecs it should work as far as SCSI goes. I don't like the use of SE SCSI for clustering-like setups but... If you have a RAID array that can present multiple LUNs / storagesets you can give each machine it's own storage to bang onto. You are of course right in saying that just hooking up 2 machines to the same disk is a no-no (maybe you can get away with giving each machine it's own part[ition] of the disk -- Wilko Bulte http://www.freebsd.org "Do, or do not.
