Pro/Forums - View Single Post - Mounting 1 SNAP to 2 servers via Microsoft iSCSI Initiator with real time sync

So far, sharing the same iSCSI partition is not possible (i.e. not supported) on a SnapServer for commercial reasons...

It is a Software issue to do with management, which server controls the data, communicating between the servers etc & the license cost of adding that feature would also be too prohibitive.

e.g.
The Snap Costs $2000 the software license cost $10,000?
If it was cost effective it would hurt the owners of that software (i.e. jeopardize other agreements they would have in place elsewhere)

I have seen one group take 6x Snap410s and raid across all 6 of them, not sure how but they could do it...
