The MD3000i is a SAN, not a network share. SAN = block level storage NAS = file level storage   A SAN can only share storage if you have a filesystem locking mechanism in place. The common option for this is clustering. Another option is a cluster-aware filesystem (e.g. VMFS or GFS).   If you need file level storage (a NAS), I suggest you give all storage to 1 server and let it share it out across the LAN.
Hello,  we got a MD3000i used as a network share between two servers (say A and B). The problem we are facing is that file/directories created by server A are not visible on server B (and viceversa). It's not a problem with permission (chmod 777 doesn't help).  The MD3000i was at first used ony with server A. We then added server B. All files/directories added "before B" were readable from both A and . Here are some details: MD3000i       Read cache:                            Enabled         Write cache:                           Enabled            Write cache without batteries:      Disabled           Write cache with mirroring:         Disabled        Flush write cache after (in seconds):  10.00           Dynamic cache read prefetch:           Enabled XFS filesystem. On server A we have (from /etc/fstab) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36a4badb000443c1c000003a04bf628a4-part1 /storage             xfs        noauto,nofail         0 0 Could be a problem with a combination of cache and xfs barriers?
