Re: What is a "Shared Storage" in a HANA system

Hi Benedict,

As explained by Mayuresh above, it depends on HANA Landscape.

Different Hardware partners have implemented High Availabality differently as IBM uses GPFS(General Parallel File System) -  a shared disk clustered file system developed by IBM itself while HP, Fujistsu use different implementation.

You can also check the following documents:

The below whitepaper is from Oracle on their Analysis of HANA High Availabilty:
