Hello mallesh.ch1,

Are the servers in a cluster or are they standalone?  Based on what you stated in your post I am guessing that they are standalone.  For what you are wanting to do it is best to have the servers in a cluster, so that both servers can access the same data.

If you use the Unity to provide block Storage to more than one server they need to run a cluster file system. A Windows NTFS is not cluster ready one.  Your data is in danger right now!!!!

Windows can use CSV.

You Unity can also run as a "Filer" which provides Shares in the same way a Windows Fileserver will do.
