Correct Answer
Through SAP HANA Storage Connector API (stonith via storage access revocation)
Why This Answer Is Correct
In SAP HANA scale-out deployments with standby nodes, storage fencing is critical to prevent split-brain data corruption. Azure NetApp Files integrates with the SAP HANA Storage Connector API to instantly revoke storage access to a failing node.
