Exchange 2010 LUN Configuration

Good Morning All,
Question for you, attached is a design I’m thinking about implementing on our EMC san for Exchange 2010. The question I have is can I put all the transaction logs on one LUN separated by folders. I’m going to have 6 DB on each of our 3 Cisco UCS and really did not want to separate the Log on their own LUN.

The drive configuration on the SAN is 96 x 1TB 7200RPM Drive setup in a RAID 10 configuration giving me about 40TB usable drive space at around 4600 IOPS.
Thoughts Comments welcome.

In many cases, the physical disk, or optimal logical unit number (LUN), that the operating system recognizes is abstracted from the hardware used to present the disk to the operating system. LUN architecture is used in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.

Although there are many ways to design LUNs in Exchange 2010, we recommend the following designs to limit complexity:
One LUN per Database

Two LUNs per Database

Two LUNs per Backup Set

Yes we will be running a DAG so would you say that we should do the same old thing that we have been doing sense 2003/2007 T-Logs on one LUN and DB on another LUN. I figured I try and stay away from using so many drive letters but sounds like I can’t get away from it.

We were going to have a 3 copy DAG (Active | Passive | Passive )
