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become outdated and soon needs replacement)?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.
