Boot-from-SAN thingie kind of spooked me, but maybe because I have never been in an environment that used it.

I see you survived the trip back from Orlando... If I remember correctly, you can bypass caching at the RAID group (not the LUN) level through Navisphere. I don't currently have access to mine to check, but I know I asked that question. Another option is to change the read/write cache percentage to be mostly read caching and reduce the potential exposure. I'd suggest skipping boot-from-SAN, but that's just me. The only reason I'd see boot-from-SAN helping is if you are going to have identical cold standby hardware available to replace in the case of system failure. I'm not sure you want to use non-identical hardware for cold spares in that kind of case. Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
