Is it possible to use iscsi to create a red hat cluster?

I have a netapp fast 2xxx with iscsi support, with 2 san switches. Is it possible to use one iscsi lun with cluster purposes?

The idea is to create a clustered service which needs storage, the storage is provided by iscsi. The distribution should be red hat.

Has anyone succed on something like this or similar?

Should be fine .. which cluster filesystem were you planning to use, GFS/GFS2 ?

I was thinking about ext3 or ext4.

The filesystem is what needs to be balanced.

If you're using block-based shared storage you'll need a clustered filesystem
