Is anyone doing such a thing and do you have any words of wisdom on how
best to do this?

I am looking to set this up for some VMs with windows 2003 and windows
2008 OS on ESX 4.0 with RMDs mapped to some back end Clariion LUNs on a
snapview enabled Clariion.

1) Policy start
2) VSS Snapshot on VM for quiesced RMD
3) Activate snap session on SAN connected media server
4) Offhost backup of VM RMD performed from snap presented to media server.
