SUMMARY: More INFO: how can more than one machine access the same files (read-only) on a SAN or NAS

basicly we need some software solution
VMS cluster has this feature but we dont use VMS
software of choice can be veritas or tivoli, but i never used one of those
sun also have clustering.

truthfully, i am very confuse about cluster/ HA (High Availability)

- VMS cluster
- Veritas cluster
- Solaris cluster
- Linux cluster

i am sorry if this summary cant help much
