yeah, I know what VSAN is. It's you who does not if you think you run VSAN on top of a SAN-connected cluster. Yes, the disk is internal to the array. A server can see a hundred arrays on the same HBAs. It doesn't care what array the storage comes from. I am positive at this point you know nothing about what a SAN is.
What "box" - the 42U Rack? I don't think so. The rack is always free. You then have DAs connected to the disk, and FAs connected to the SAN, which are on a pair of directors. You literally cannot get those w/o disk.
You don't know what a SAN is, you've never seen an itemized quote for an array. Thanks for your link. It's like sending a hooked on phonics link to an English professor. Cute. Keep it cute! People like you are the reason people like me get paid a lot.
