My main argument for booting off of the SAN has to do with the hardware MTBF
in general. If you boot off of the SAN, than you are depending on the SAN
to be up and running and available at all times, whereas if you are not, if
you boot off of local disks, than you are depending on the local disks to be
up and running and available. I will bet my left leg that the MTBF is far
higher for a disk system within something like the EVA 5000, than it is in a
DL360 disk system. That is one of the main ideas behind a SAN, and one of
the main reasons that they cost so damn much.

Two questions - why boot off the SAN - interested in your rationale -
are you working on the basis that all blades equal, so you have an easy
out / replacement if a blade's hardware component blows? Secondly, given
blades, why VMWare?
