network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity
hardware such as x86_64 servers with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband
HBA.“I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

should be able to resolve the other system’s hostname. If this
cannot be done through DNS, you should edit the /etc/hosts file so
that it contains the following two lines on both systems:”
