DB Disk Hot Split question

Hello:
I am using SAN storage to store the DB files. The SAN disk is in
mirror. Does any config that I can perform the hot split the SAN mirror
disk and the DB files can be use as backup purpose?
It was because I have try to split the disk but those DB files can't be
mount on the same DB server.
Thanks!
Most SAN vendors support this type of mirror split. EMC calls it BCV split.
To use the split mirror for backup, it has to be integrated with SQL Server
VDI so that I/Os can be quiesced briefly to get a rcoveable image.
You need to follow the SAN vendor's instructions to do this right.

to purchase the SplitSecond to do that, right?
Thanks!
