We have the entire operating system of
the master server on SAN (which also happens to house NBU and its catalog),
and it is replicated to our DR site. Once we get there, we just power
it up and fly. The caveat to using SAN is that it looks like local
disk to the master. I am not sure about iSCSI or FCoE, but I would
assume they would be treated the same as well, with my caveat, of course.

In point of fact it only says
NO to NFS/CIFS. The original question also asked about SAN
as well and I don’t know of any prohibition against that but as others
have noted you’d want to make sure the disk array used is backed up to
other locations because if the array fails you’d lose both your other
data and the catalog you need to restore that data.

What’s the best practice on moving
the NBU master catalog to an NFS mount or a SAN share? With all the drama
going on around our catalog size and the new Isilon, I’m beginning to
wonder if we’ll out grow out current master servers local disk soon. I’ll
be digging through Symantec PDFs, but thought I would throw it out here
for you all as well. My obvious concerns are I/O. In our environment I
would say we usually have no more than 30 active jobs (including children)
running at a time. Our average is probably 10 or less, with bursts of 30.
