    Each server must be able access to the other’s storage in order to respond successfully to requests that had been handled by the failed server. Currently, only the Compaq RAID Array 4000, formerly the Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System, allows for multi-server (multi- initiator) control of external storage on ProLiant servers.
