Your right, I shouldn't say supported... Is it a wise to put datafiles on a disk appliance? Coming from other database background, it is not wise to do such a thing and will cause problems when the disk appliance has problems.
As for the transaction logs, I haven't reallly thought of it, but to my understanding management wants it all on the appliance. The only other choice I have for the logs would be an internal drive.
