    ...are you talking about using the SAN SSO version for this?

    If so, you need a full version of BE installed on BOTH cluster nodes running SQL. Then the ESO license etc.

    Check the licensing guides on the links below:

...and you can read up further on SAN SSO:

You can use your existing SAN, but your cluster nodes MUST be attached to the SAN too, or they will simply use the LAN. No need to purchase any additional hardware if this already exists.

Thanks!
