2.3.2 Configuring SAN-Based Mirroring

Consult your SAN vendor or SAN vendor documentation for instructions on configuring SAN-
based mirroring.

2.3.3 LUN Masking

We recommend that you implement LUN masking in your business continuity cluster for data
protection. LUN masking is provided by your SAN vendor.
LUN masking is the ability to exclusively assign each LUN to one or more host connections. With it
you can assign appropriately sized pieces of storage from a common storage pool to various servers.
See your SAN vendor documentation for more information on configuring LUN masking.
