snapshots on shared fibre

I have a Xiotech Magnitude raid, that uses fibre ports to connect to multiple servers.

We do NOT use a SAN filesystem. What I am wondering is, can I use snapshots that are mounted on 1 machine, where the original filesystem is mounted on another machine. both machines are connected to the raid via fibre.

My hope is that, since it is a second filesystem, and is readonly, this operation will not cause problems..

Is this correct?
