I'm not surprised.  This is not something you just go ahead and do, it
requires drivers on both machines that support it.  I don't think there
are any standard drivers that support this, but I'm sure it's been done.
RTFM!  If you don't find anything about "dual-initiators" or "dual-hosts",
in the driver documentation, then it probably doesn't support it.

This is a lunitic fringe feature; not very common.
