    Available emergency storage on SAN

    It depends, If your infrastructure is stable (i.e. not growing abnormally or adding new servers all of the time) then you should have minimal spare space (in your example <100GB) But if your infrastructure is changing/growing then it is nice to have a 5% head room to allow for any 'emergency'...

    emc use of scsi disks

    All EMC symm products (until the latest release DMX) use a scsi backend, so they are all scsi drives. This has been the case since the symmetrix series first came out. The newer model uses fibre drives. Liam

    How many EMC gatekeepers do I need?

    I agree it depends on what the server is running. If the server does not use any symcli etc commands then there is no need for any gatekeepers. But on the other hand, If you have a mangement console that should have several (i.e.4-6). But for a normal server that will just be using it for...
