I think people can/should request storage for themselves, because some
people need more/less, different combinations, dual paths, etc.  Some
of us <cough> wouldn't know what to do with storage if we got it.

I will provide a DVD for use with the clients, so just let me know what
needs to be done with that DVD.  No, I'm not going to stick it there,
the slot isn't big enough.

I'm willing to work with Rich to get it installed and working on a VM
which can then be cloned as many times as needed if anyone thinks that
would be useful.  I'm also willing to do as many installs as necessary
on *real* machines.  I'm pretty quick with those.  I can probably get
10 machines up and installed in an hour.

All data ports are on the 10.3 subnet.
