He probably doesn't advocate using SAN instead of local disks if you do not
have a good reason to use SAN. If that's it, I *do* agree with him. Don't
use SANs just for the heck of it. Even external JBOD enclosures are a bad
idea if you don't need them.
But not using a SAN that is already available at a datacenter where all
disks are consolidated into large redundant FC SANs, well, that would be
silly IMHO. Diskless machines are, if anything, much faster to replace
with a spare one when you need to get them serviced :)
