Answer

Yes, it is possible. However, there are considerations to keep in mind when mapping two standalone hosts to a single LUN:

  • Potential data inconsistency: In a standalone configuration, simultaneous writes to the same LUN can lead to data inconsistency and conflicts. Care must be taken to ensure data integrity and avoid conflicts.
  • Proper configuration: When using shared storage access, it is important to have appropriate clustering or file system configuration to manage data consistency and conflicts effectively.
