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?

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 How can I use the SAN to enhance my Citrix deployment (currently 15 servers, 250 concurrent users, hardware become outdated and soon needs replacement)?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.
