The fortune 100 company where I work has put about half their databases on
SAN, including production databases. You may very well find you don't get
to control what gets written to which disk - depends on the balance of power
between the DBAs, the hardware folks, the OS admins and the managers.
Perhaps you can persuade everyone to set aside some separate disks for redo
logs and/or other components - or perhaps not. If you do get to say how the
hardware is laid out, then do things pretty much as you would have before
the advent of SAN storage - conservatively.
