Is installing OS on a StorEdge A1000 recommended?

Hi Everyone,
I have an E4500, with two internal disks, and A1000 array,
and a T3ES array. I would like to know what people think
about installing the OS on the A1000 array. I talked with
someone at Sun, and they do not recommend it. My gut
feeling is that it would be better to install the OS on
the internal disks, and put /var, extra swap, and third
party software (except perhaps the software controlling the
A1000 and T3ES) on the A1000.
I searched the archives and found one user who is against it, and
some people who do it.
If you have done this, what problems have you had? How difficult
is it to get back up and running when something goes wrong.
Finally, for those who have done this, did you use Volume
Manager or Raid Manager Software to control the A1000?
Seems like a catch 22 to do the install.
Thanks in advance for your help and opinions!!
