Hi Steven,

apart from OCR/Voting disk requiremets, when designing SAN Storage for
database, following need to be done considered:
- find out application I/O characteristis
- find out bandwith limits for all I/O stack components
- understand reqired RPO, RTO, SLA's

The resulted design should be throughput od not capacity oriented.

regards,
goran
