We do a lot of deployments on NetApp and I really like the following method:

Use NFS for system volumes, then you dont need to worry about SCSI reservations, Use no more than 700GB volumes with no more than 20VMs. Use iSCSI LUNs and use the MS iSCSI initiator within the VM to map directly to those to take advantage of the SnapManager utilities. Size these LUNs depending on application. Use RAID-DP throughout with as many disks as possible in the aggregate.
