I'm not sure if the previous note before Rob's references an external
SAN and/or someone using a System i as a SAN. The blade with i5/OS only
works with an external SAN. The items from Lukas seem to pertain to a
System i being used as a SAN.....different subject point?

No, they're perfectly related.

There are two possible scenarios:

a)
Buy a SAN
Buy a System i Blade
Buy Servers, attach Servers to SAN

b)
Buy a big System i
Buy Servers, attach Servers to System i

I was arguing why a) might be better than b).
