Upgrading SQL Server 2000/2005 to 2008 with VMWare and EMC SANs
Has anyone ever seen a White Paper on the best way to utilize features of both VMWare and EMC Symmetrix based SANs in a real-time or rapid batch based upgrade from SQL Server 2000/2005 to SQL Server 2008 with minimal downtime for application availability?

Is synchronous replication possible between EMC DMX4 and EMC CLARiiON CX3-80?
I would like to know whether synchronous replication is possible between EMC DMX4 and EMC Clariion Cx3-80 storage systems. I understand MirrorView software replicates only between two Clariion CX models and SAN Copy configured on the Clariion CX3-80 could only do asynchronous replication, but does not provide the complete end-to-end protection.
