This is not possible, to the best of my knowledge. "Shared nothing"
means disk is not shared either. Each machine has its own disk and
a portion of the database. If a machine dies the disk and the data
on it become inaccessible, and you're screwed.



If I am wrong, please supply technical details of how this is
possible. I am willing to be educated.
