Shared storage

A VCS hardware configuration typically consists of multiple nodes connected to shared storage through I/O channels. Shared storage provides multiple systems with an access path to the same data, and enables VCS to restart applications on alternate nodes when a node fails, which ensures high availability.

Two examples of shared storage configurations illustrates the flexibility of VCS shared storage configurations. VCS nodes can only access physically-attached storage.
