"Cost prohibitive" is a subjective measure and varies by company. Yes,
many places do it. That doesn't mean it's feasible or economical in
every organization.

        there are so many organizations doing boot from SAN that truly
doubt it is cost prohibitive.

                        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 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users, hardware become outdated and soon needs replacement)?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.
