At the same moment?

Normally, you would have the data stored on one host and NFS mount it on
the other half.  Unfortunately, the other half will be slower unless you
have a really good network link.  

There are hardware solutions for this (attaching a SCSI disk array to two
separate hosts) but they aren't cheap or easy.
