Your customer has a new SAN storage array and they are concerned that data corruption might occur when servers using different operating systems access the same data. You need to ensure that only designated host servers nave access to their own logical drives.
Which SAN technique should be used?
Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) is the appropriate technique for ensuring that only designated host servers have access to their own logical drives. SSP allows the user to designate which hosts have access to which logical drives, thus preventing data corruption that might occur when servers using different operating systems access the same data.
Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) lets the user designate which hosts have access to which logical drives. This is accomplished by specifying which HBA on a host has access to which connections to a logical drive or LUN. This process is used to prevent data corruption that might occur when servers using different operating systems access the same data. It is done independently of zoning and aims to protect access to sensitive data.
