Hello, I'm going to build a database servers cluster but I don't know how
can I share the database files disk for both servers so that if a server
fail the other can following managing the disk.

Do you think I need a SAN/NAS storage?
Another fileserver could has a good improvement like a file warehouse of
SQLServer database files?

Thanks.

In order to setup a proper SQL cluster the hardware and disks need to be on the HCL:
