You say “SAN/ storage”- is this storage a separate device, or is it simply internal disks on your Sun server? If it’s external, is it direct attached via SCSI or SAS? If it’s not, then it’s either a SAN (disk level access) or a NAS (file level access).

Disk level access means it presents LUNs to a server and lets the server install what it wants on those, and file level access means that it has its own file system.
