Right. Although, if you aren't BOOTING from SAN, then you must be using
local disk for your OS, swap, etc. In that case, what are you using the
SAN disks for? Unless you have truly GIGANTIC application suites, I
don't see why non-booting-SAN for Citrix would make sense.

right but my point is that he was saying that "booting from san"
would cost you more than just using the san for other disks which I
don't agree with. you would need the adaptors either way...
the concept of booting from san doesn't cost you anything as
compared to normal use of the san on a server.

You still need 2 adapters (for redundancy) per server, plus SAN
ports, usually there is management software associated with the SAN
which is licensed per connection, etc.... This person is problem
referring to all of the overall costs that add about $5k or more each
time you hook a device up.

well you really don't need more disk to boot from SAN than you
would if you were just using the SAN for regular storage. especially
for citrix, you don't need alot of disk for citrix boxes...

my understanding is that it was disk cost - the # of spindles
needing to be allocated, multiplied by the number of servers booting
from SAN.....

right, what is he talking about. because if he is
talking about the hba's then that is not specific to booting from the
san, but just something that you will need if you want to use your san
at all...?
what is he talking about?

What cost does he associate with boot-from-SAN?

My organization just installed an EMC SAN and I
was thinking how I could use it to benefit my current (XP FR3) and
future (upgrading to PS 4) environment. How can I use the SAN to
enhance my Citrix deployment (currently 15 servers, 250 concurrent
users, hardware become outdated and soon needs replacement)? I was told
by our SAN Admin that booting new servers from the SAN would probably be
cost prohibitive.
