AFAIK there is no open source software to make this happen. I've read about cmirror which could replicate data between two sans in a clustered environment but it was not production-proof last time I heard of it...
We have a similar situation, two different sans one being a backup, and we use the san providers (EMC) proprietary replication software.

sorry my first message was a bit vague.
We have 2 HP EVA arrays : one being the backup device of the other in case a crash occurs.
So we make each node of the cluster (active/passive , multipath + clvmd + cmirror) connected to both EVAs.
We create one disk on each EVAs with same characteristics, plus one disk on one of the 2 EVAs as a log mirror disk.
Then we 'lvcreate -m1 disk1 disk2 disk3' and put our file system resource on this lv.
That is where our test (shutdown of an EVA) totally fails.
Unfortunately ha-lvm won't be usable because we intend to use GFS soon.
What we need is a solution that ensures clusterized services to carry on working even if on EVA burns...
