System design feedback requested

Please comment on the following system design for an OES2 Linux Groupwise
server:

1.  OS partition: mirrored 18GB 15K SCSI hard drives, or virtual machine.

2.  Groupwise partition: 300GB logical ISCSI drive shared from a RAID1 array of
two 300GB 15K SAS drives in a Dell MD3000 connected to a Dell NX1950 running
Windows Storage Server.  

3.  My plan is to use SAMBA to access the Windows ISCSI share and then run a POA
and MTA on the partition.

Is this a valid concept?  Comments or criticisms, please?

Hi
It might be better to post this in the groupwise or SLES forums :)
