I believe the VA7xxxx line of HP storage gear is bootable and so could
be used for LDEV1 and whatever else you have in the SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.
On the used market, such devices are relatively cheap, have higher
capacities than the AutoRAID and Nike arrays, and have higher
performance as well. However, they do require fiber connections on
your 3000, and so might run into issues with older versions of MPE.
