 Oh man, this thread is a welcome sight.

I'm just about to get a Clariion AX4 configured w/ 11 400GB 10k SAS drives and 2 heads to replace our crap-rear end Ubuntu NFS server that's currently providing backend storage to 4 ESX frontends.

Any setup tips on carving this thing up once it ships to us? How should i connect VM -> storage? Expose a LUN for each VM then use RDM in vmware? One giant VMFS volume stored to a RAID-10 on the AX4? A mix of both? Nothing? OH GOD THE CHOICES ARE KILLING ME :smith:
