At work, we run a pretty sizable EMC SAN. Recently, I was faced with having to move some VM disks around to get one specifically onto a 15k RAID group, but fell into the age-old trap of not leaving enough free space on all RG's so that there is "scratch" space to move things around.
I borrowed a cheapass "NAS" box that was new and yet to be used by another group.]
