Store article data on a SAN

[JeremyB3ntham]

We have OTRS running on Liunx (Debian) and we store article data on the file system using, ArticleStorageFS and it's all located on the local machine '<OTRS_CONFIG_Home>/var/article'. I'd like to move this to a SAN. Has anyone had experience in doing this, and if so could you give some guidance and does it affect performance in any way?

considering a SAN is supposed to be performance-wise comparable to Direct Attached Storage, your results should be as comparable as any other SAN usage.

Thanks. I figured that. I guess what I now need to know is whether anything special needs to be done on the Linux box in order to see the SAN share?

That depends on how it's supposed to see the SAN (connecting the SAN is outside the scope of this forum).
If you have it connected, then symlink to a SAN-held folder probably would be sufficient.

At what point would you be encountering difficulties?
