Clustering issue

I am trying to install a cluster of two computers. Both
of them are going to be production machines which have
similar applications installed on it. Both have SQL
installed and are database servers. As data comes into
one of them the SQL on this first machine replicates the
data for every transaction to the 2nd machine. Thus both
have similar data at almost all times.

On failure I want the cluster service to make the 2nd
computer as the new server where the data can be inserted
automatically until the first server is brought to action
again.

The clustering architecture in windows wants the 2
machines to not have dat on them but on an external SCSI
hard drive. But this sturcture fails to provide any
service when the external hard drive itself fails. Our
approach takes care of hard drive failure as well a
machine failure.

How do I go about doing the cluster service installation
as the service, while installation, prompts that no
seperate SCSI bus found (during the installation of the
first node)

Thanks in advance.

Clustering requires a shared external SCSI storage of some kind there is no
way around this. Clustering can not work without shared storage.
