Thanks John (et al)
Based on what I am hearing, I should probably treat the System i and
it's Linux partitions as a separate system for now and handle the 7
Wintel servers as a separate "system". Generally the x86 servers are
white boxes (although there are 3 x330's down there). The System i disk
is so expensive (getting better though) that I am not sure it makes
sense to use the System i as the iSCSI target. I'll have to think about
about it. 2TB's would push me to a 525 when all we really need for
development is a 515.
Perhaps 2-3 years from now when I get going on the next series of
hardware upgrades, I can find a single storage solution for all of them.
Thanks for the feedback. That helps with my planning.

Who is your x86 server vendor of choice? If IBM you can consider iSCSI
with the System i hosting all disk. If not, I'd recommend leaving the
System i separate from the other systems and getting something like this
