I managed a CI-based cluster for a bunch of years and the migration to
a modern SAN was painless. If you have the concepts down, the rest is
just syntax and experience. My VMS hosts still lead the pack with
boot-from-SAN. Other than our VMware blades, the other platform
admins have not yet switched to a boot-from-SAN approach.

For VMS systems booting from the SAN, wwidmgr is the tool you have to
know - there's a dedicated manual for it.

I sorta knew there couldn't be much difference... It was the part where I needed to know what tools are used and all you guys helped
me with that.

Thanks Y'all!
