I'm in need of some assistance. I have 3 servers i have proxmox on and a homebrew SAN. I have Openfiler configured to share a raid5 array (500GB drives) via ISCSI over my Fibre channel. Proxmox sees the share and all seems to be good. But the issue im having is how to correctly share the volume between all 3 servers to use my McData Fibre Switch as the fencing agent for HA.

From what i have read online, it is NOT good to share an ISCSI device between multiple servers. I'm pretty new to fibre so forgive me if the answer isnt obvious.

All servers have an internal SSD for the OS containing proxmox.

Id like for all the servers to share the same raid if possible so that migration is near instant but i dont see an obvious way to do this.
