Two servers, one InnoDB area?

[Duncan Hill]

I'm currently evaluating ways to increase our online storage capacity for our 
DB engine.  The current winner is a massive external SAN/disk array.  
However, I'm wondering how MySQL will handle failover when it comes to InnoDB 
tablespaces.

The current plan, based on the disk array, is to have each of the DB engine 
servers attached to the same disk array.  Server 1 is 'hot' and has the disk 
array mounted, and thus creates all of the InnoDB table spaces etc.  Should 
it fail for whatever reason, Server 2 takes over as hot (based on linux-ha), 
mounts the array, fires up MySQL and keeps on going.  I am aware of MySQL 
cluster, but currently do not have the hardware budget to accomodate the 
requirements of Cluster.

Will the InnoDB engine on Server 2 have any issues with Server 1 creating the 
table space?
