You need shared SCSI, iSCSI, or Fibre

 

You could invest in some iSCSI software that would enable you to use the third machine as a storage server.

Hi mark,

                       can we use a  shared drive on third PC as shared storage ?

           Actually as i told u earlier that i want this in testing enviorement, that`s why we can not invest in any RAID or some any SCCI kind of storage drives. Is there any work around of this problem ?

It order to create a cluster you will need some form of shared storage.

 

Here are some links to documentation about clustering:
