Thank you very much for trying this.

Installer doesn't deal with SAN disks in special way for now -
all disks are treated equal. That means if special treatment
is needed from the installer, then it will not be possible to
install on such storage.
For instance, there is currently work in progress to allow installation
on SAN iSCSI devices.

I haven't played with SAN too much but I think your assumption is correct -
if SAN disks are visible to AI and some of them meets criteria,
it is picked up for the installation.

The general approach is that if modifications are needed to support
installation on special storage, team owning that technology prepares
necessary changes (since it has all necessary know how) and we coordinate
with them to appropriately integrate those modifications into the installer.

If you encounter problem during installation, you could file bug against
the installer - initial triaging will be done and if applicable it will
be redirected to the appropriate category.

Thank you,
Jan
