I'm currently using SNMP to monitor 7-M filers and I'm not entirely happy with it, eg SNMP agent doesn't answer on queries on a busy filer. I'd say the situaion is even worse with SNMP support in cDOT, see http://www.netapp.com/in/media/tr-4220.pdf for details.
I agree, "autosupport" is a "must".

No experience with CDOT yet (installing this spring), however generally, for any equipment, I'd be using SNMP for this. I'd have gone through the vendor's MIB file and ensured that the events (like power issues) I need to be notified about are above the notification threshold for my SNMP software. Also, I'd make sure that the box is able to call home and open tickets for critical issues. I've had the vendor help me with that in the past.
