Answer
Yes. You can connect multiple servers to the same LUN, but the following restrictions apply:
- The operating system supports multiple sharing of the same LUN
- The operating system layered software (such as Microsoft Cluster or VMware VMFS) that supports a clustered file system.
- Map the LUN to an additional server and the LUN must remains in an offline or read-only state and never be initialized(For example: Veeam Direct SAN access transport mode or similar way by other backup software vendor)
