How recognize a file system is shared?

Is there a way I can tell a file system is shared between two clients
without creating a file? I say with no file creation because NetApp
sometimes takes a while before makes a file X (created from node A)
visible to node B.

Go to the server machine and ask *it* what clients currently mount
the tree in question.

On most Unix boxes "showmount -a" or various switches of the "share"
command. Using a NetApp, RTFM of OnTap commands then login and use
its commands.
