Bryan Lavelle from Compaq (and others) said that you cannot mount any
fileset from the same domain on multiple servers.

Alan Davis said that I could create a snapshot at the RAID controller,
but that that is not currently supported on the HSZ80. I knew about
that on the HSG80, but is that something that is being developed for the
HSZ80?
