Xsan currently has a 2 TB LUN limitation. Depending on how large the
drives are then it may call for multiple LUNs per controller.

This is not recommended if you do video. Stick with 2TB LUNs per
controller untill Apple finds a way to work around this 32bit issue.
I always setup my storage LUNs as 2TB RAID5 sets w/1 hot spare and leave
the seventh spot empty. If you need a 2TB SAN, get an Xserve RAID w/7
500GB drives and buy 2 extra 500GB drives. Remove 1 500GB drive from the
fully populated side and put it with the other 2 on the empty side.
You'll have a 2TB RAID5 LUN w/ hotspare for storage and a 500GB RAID1
w/hotspare for metadata.
If you need a bigger Xsan volume, do the math: typically you get 3
Xserve RAID at 14 disks for every Xserve RAID at 7 disks...
