subject: RE: iSeries and Sans

There is no advantage to be gained attaching an iSeries to an 
external SAN (IMHO) ...


If you have a SAN for another system (mainframe) and the iSeries is 
compatable then the advantage is cheaper disk... it's way cheaper for 
the disk.

Now, attaching blade servers or IXA 
servers to the iSeries and utilizing it's storage as a SAN ... 
That has merit.


If you have a couple of servers this seems like a sensible thing to do 
but once you get some serious storage... Open System SAN, way cheaper 
and just as reliable.
