About using NetApp SAN-connected storage with Replication Director
Use Replication Director to back up NetApp block data on SAN-connected storage using Fibre Channel or iSCSI.
If the same LUN is accessible through iSCSI and Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel is used to mount the LUN.
If using the iSCSI protocol, establish sessions with the disk array using the CHAP security protocol. The client and the alternate client may have sessions with different users. The different sessions do not affect snapshot imports and restores, and do not affect the following operations: Snapshot, Replication, and Backup From Snapshot. If a session is already established on the alternate client, the LUN is exposed to that host without any CHAP authentication.
