He probably doesn't advocate using SAN instead of local disks if you do not have a good reason to use SAN. If that's it, I *do* agree with him. Don't use SANs just for the heck of it. Even external JBOD enclosures are a bad idea if you don't need them. But not using a SAN that is already available at a datacenter where all disks are consolidated into large redundant FC SANs, well, that would be silly IMHO. Diskless machines are, if anything, much faster to replace with a spare one when you need to get them serviced :) -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
