Sure, but as a development shop we apply updates a lot and we do not need 
every resource on our network being unavailable because we want to put on 
a PTF.  Also, we have so many different things running on the iSeries that 
there are a lot of pieces that can need fixes -- requiring downtime.  I'd 
expect a SAN to be more stable in this area since it has a more focused 
purpose.

I'd like to use my iSeries as the SAN, I think it bring some value.  In 
our case, the way we use our iSeries, it just didn't make sense.
