We've got 5 Windows 2k8 media servers being used as remote backup hosts
for ESX servers.  We zone the ESX datastores to the NT boxen, they
remain unmounted (but online) and are read to backup the ESX virtual
machines.  These are, therefore, shared SAN disks.

Our NT admins are a bit nervous about how to lock these down so nobody
accidentally formats these disks or otherwise causes damage to them in
the standard late-night lets-see-if-this-works fumbling.

How are you folks locking down your media servers to prevent accidental
damage.
