Which SAN or NAS to use for Database?

[Photubias]

I want to setup Shared Storage for several webservers. I bought an Open-E system.

Most databases (such as MySQL, Oracle) and ColdFusion require Block Access so NFS, CIFS or Samba is not a possibility for me.

I want to use iSCSI, but when a change a webfile on webserverA, this change is not visible on webserverB.

What should I use then?

Thanks in advance,

Since you are forced into block base, then ISCSI is the way to go. The problem is when user 1 makes a change user2 will not see changes.

One way around this is to disconnect and reconnect the iscsi initiator, and then you will see changes.

Could also try replicating to another server, create snapshot mount and view snapshot. Snapshot will only have data that changes
