James,
Just like traditional SCSI, attaching a server to a SAN requires a
controller. Once installed and the SAN is configured you will see one or
more additional drive letters (a few administrators use mount points but
usually in very large implementations). Before you attach, discuss your
requirements with the SAN administrator.
How much disk do you need for data?
What will the RAID configuration be?
How much for logs?
How much for backups?
Will the SAN be used for SQL backups or mirror splits?
How much for tempdb and so on...
You can keep spreading the activities out with more files, filegroups, and
drives.
Good luck,
Danny
