Clustering is about increased availability of services. To reach this goal, a SERVICE must be able to run on all servers in a cluster. The server must ALSO be able to access its configuration files and data when it moves over to another server. To make this easy, I highly RECOMMEND using a SAN. Just put the data and configuration files on the SAN and make sure all servers can reach the SAN. If you can't install a SAN, there is another solution that offers shared access to the files. This COULD be a Network File System-based solution or a synchronization solution, such as rsync. If your data is not too dynamic, you could even schedule a cron JOB to keep the data and configuration in sync.
