If I would configure a IBV share (that drops its logs, its just for temporary connections, no file saving), is it possible to connect multiple computers to the same share, instead of creating multiple shares ?

The reason is that if one would connect 1connection/each, then one doesent know which one is free at any one time, but if one can just put a limit (say 20 connections) then all initiatiors could go to the same target share ?

Is this a possible functionality ?

If you need multiple hosts to share the same master disk, create a cloned volume for each client machine and assign them 1-to-1.

Ever in the Auto-rolback mode an IBVolume demands temporary disk journal space to store user's changes to the disk that are to be dropped on the disconnect.
