In a normal enviroment and who knows what normal is but in our enviroment we have one san in each 2 of our subnets. The other 3 do not have any but I use the disk space on the server itself. Is it normal to have to have 2 sans in each subnet. Understand that each subnet is a different building all with different IP addresses. My thinking is that since the SAN has a lot of redundacy and emails me and Dell when anything happens that that is about as good as I can make it. I know it would be nice to be able to Vmotion the storage but not practical money wise. I can some pretty close to 2 esxi servers in each subnet but I have a 2 hour mission critical support with Dell and in our environment 2 hours would be find.
Just looking for some thoughts on this.
thanks
