Hello Team,

We have one production instance of Nexus, and we are planning for Nexus in HA.

As per the architecture which is explained in documentation, if we add two more servers.  
Taking out entire blob store from File system of existing server to one shared drive and asking all three servers to fetch data from the shared drive.  
Is it possible?

Also one more query here would be, shared drive which is shown in architecture is NFS mount point? or there are alternate solution for these shared drive?

Thanks in Advance,  
Bharat
