### Zone down experience

When deploying an Elastic SAN, if you select ZRS for your SAN's redundancy option, zonal failover is supported by the platform without manual intervention. An elastic SAN using ZRS is designed to self-heal and rebalance itself to take advantage of healthy zones automatically.

When deploying an Elastic SAN, if you select ZRS for your SAN's redundancy option, zonal failover is supported by the platform. If you use a Private Endpoint to connect to your Elastic SAN, this failover will happen without manual intervention. A ZRS Elastic SAN using Private Endpoints and is designed to self-heal and rebalance itself to take advantage of healthy zones automatically (you may see availability and performance degradation for a few minutes while the SAN rebalances itself).

If you deployed an LRS elastic SAN, you may need to deploy a new SAN, using snapshots exported to managed disks.

If you connect using storage service endpoints, zonal failover is supported but may require manual intervention. A ZRS Elastic SAN using storage service endpoints will not switch to a healthy zone automatically. You may need to restart the iSCSI initiator to initiate a failover to a different, healthy zone.

### Low-latency design
3941

40-
The latency differences between an elastic SAN on LRS and an elastic SAN on ZRS isn't particularly high. However, for workloads sensitive to latency spikes, consider an elastic SAN on LRS since it offers the lowest latency.
42+
Elastic SANs using ZRS are identical to Elastic SANs using LRS (they have the same scale targets), but ZRS does add more write latency. Benchmark your Elastic SANs to simulate the workload of your application and compare the latency between LRS and ZRS to see if it will affect your workload.

### Availability zone migration
4345

44-
To migrate an elastic SAN on LRs to ZRS, you must snapshot your elastic SAN's volumes, export them to managed disk snapshots, deploy an elastic SAN on ZRS, and then create volumes on the SAN on ZRS using those disk snapshots. To learn how to use snapshots (preview), see [Snapshot Azure Elastic SAN volumes (preview)](../storage/elastic-san/elastic-san-snapshots.md).

### Single and Multi-region disaster recovery

For Azure Elastic SAN, you're responsible for the DR experience. You can [take snapshots](../storage/elastic-san/elastic-san-snapshots.md) of your volumes and [export them](../storage/elastic-san/elastic-san-snapshots.md#export-volume-snapshot) to managed disk snapshots. Then, you can [copy an incremental snapshot to a new region](/azure/virtual-machines/disks-copy-incremental-snapshot-across-regions) to store your data is in a region other than the region your elastic SAN is in. You should export to regions that are geographically distant from your primary region to reduce the possibility of multiple regions being affected due to a disaster.

### Capacity and proactive disaster recovery resiliency

Microsoft and its customers operate under the [Shared Responsibility Model](./availability-zones-overview.md#shared-responsibility-model). Shared responsibility means that for customer-enabled DR (customer-responsible services), you must address DR for any service you deploy and control. You should prevalidate any service you deploy will work with Elastic SAN. To ensure that recovery is proactive, you should always predeploy secondaries because there's no guarantee of capacity at time of impact for those who haven't preallocated.
