Hi *,

I am going into a meeting with our SAN team in about 45 minutes. I've been
pouring over Redbooks all morning to try to find information on something.
Hopefully the synergy out there will help.

Is there any best practice of documentation out there that says anything
like:

     When carving a LUN in the ESS, using fewer BIGGER LUNs is more
efficient than more SMALLER LUNs.

I can see where AIX would have more overhead, but is it worth it ?

Thanks, Bill.
