MD3420 and shared virtual disk with two hosts

$

Hi all,


I have a PowerVault MD3420 and a couple of PE R430 equipped with a HBA Sas external controller each.
I have created a a diskgroup and an hostgroup with my two servers, which are connected using multipath.

I'm able to see the virtual disk from both the servers. I've created an ext4 partition on the virtual disk and I can successfully see it from the serves.

Here comes the issue: I can't manage the access from both the server. When I mount the partition, this is the behavior:

- from server #1, I can write a file
- server #2 is unable to see the new file
- to see the new file from server #2, I need to unmount and mount again the partition
- if i umount/mount the partition on th server #2, server #1 will be unable to see or write new modifications

Is there something wrong with my setup? Do I need to change the fs type?

TIA for you help and hints
