How do I configure a single RAID array so that more than one computer (host) can be connected to it?

There are several ways to do this. One way is to use multiple SCSI host channels on the RAID controller to connect to several host computers. One RAID set can be partitioned into several disks, and any of these disks can be mapped to a number of different channels, LUNs, or even to different SCSI IDs. If you are going to allow multiple computers to access the same section of the disk, care should be taken to ensure that the same file cannot be accessed by more than one computer simultaneously. If different computers try to write tot he same file simultaneously the data on the disk could become corrupted (although this in itself will not cause the RAID array to fail).
