I'll agree with Mr. Barsa on this (maybe not the hooker part...) The

SAN for the iSeries is the iSeries disk subsystem itself. There is no advantage to be gained attaching an iSeries to an external SAN (IMHO)

Now, attaching blade servers or IXA servers to the iSeries and utilizing
it's storage as a SAN ... That has merit.
We have been looking at SAN's (for our xSeries servers) and considered the iSeries option. Since the disk is controlled by OS/400, doesn't this option ultimately mean that the disk is unavailable when you are doing things like applying PTF's or OS/400 upgrades? That is what we concluded, so we are still focusing on the SAN option. We have seen enough that we are not going to consider using the SAN for our iSeries disk storage though. Mark
