**Background**
We are looking into building a multiple standby hadr cluster. The Auxiliary standby is in a geographically separate location.
from [Developer works](https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/DB2LUWAvailability/entry/log_archiving_in_an_hadr_environment?lang=en)
>In a multiple standby system, the archived log files can be scattered among

**My Question**
What method/solution can be used to create a shared archive.
We are running on X86 SLES 11.4 with HDS san.
Primary and Standby is in the same datacentre but Aux-standby is 30km away.
Would a simple NFS share be used and replication to the Aux.
Thank you
