RHEL 5.2 -> Sun 2540 Fibre Disk Array

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi,

I'd like to get some opinions before I venture on this.  I have a couple 
of Sun servers running RHEL 5.2.  They all have fibre cards and are 
connected to a Sun 2540 Fibre Disk Array.  I've allocated a chunk of 
disk space space on the SAN to be used for /home.

Previously, I would have set up an NFS server and mounted /home from the 
other servers.  But now, that everything is connected directly to the 
SAN I could mount /home directly without using NFS.

Is this possible or am I still going to need an NFS server to control 
access to /home?  The more I think about it, the more it worries me 
because /home is a logical volume.  Can I have all the servers accessing 
this partion at the same time?  If I can't have all the machines mount 
/home directly from the SAN, then that sort of defeats the purpose of 
having the SAN for /home, IMO.

What would be the best way for setting this up?
