T1000 storage

We are looking to purchase a Sun Fire T1000 to replace a couple of our old
test servers, but when I review the server's specifications I notice that
only 1 hard disk was present in the server. In addition, there was no
CD/DVD drive for easy installation.

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t1000/specifications.jsp

What is the purpose of having a server with only 1 hard disk, if it is
failing the whole server is down?
Is it possible to boot on SAN with iSCSI from one of the 4 gigabit ethernet
interface?

I know I should probably go for a T2000, but the T1000 was cheaper but I
would expect it to have at least 2 hard drives to do mirror with them.

What are the best practice for T1000 usage?

- Francois
