• I am in the process of moving production databases over to a NetApp 2040 SAN and I can commiserate with "death by documentation". I've spent weeks rummaging around on NetApp's support site and endless oceans of PDFs in order to wrap my head around all the aspects that SAN technology brings to the SQL Server party. We are a small shop and I do not have the luxury of a full time SAN admin. I will stress that educating yourself and testing the configuration are completely necessary, deviate from NetApp best practices and all bets are off in my experience.
