You'll need to use something like Redhat Cluster Suite in order to make sure that the two nodes do not try to access the SAN at the same time. We have two nodes in an Active-Passive config using an EMC SAN and Cluster Suite.

We also do not recommend RAID5 as that is known to cause performance issues.

RAID 1+0 is our best practice recommendation.

I am already using redhat cluster.

Is there anything i should really pay attention to if i decide to use SAN??
