Never heard of anyone doing that, per se.
Performance issues? I can't really think of any that would be different than striping across two EMC or NetApp arrays. If the back-end storage is behaving as it should, all should be fine :-)

All,
Did anyone use both EMC and Netapp in a combined SAN environment where one solaris host mounts luns from both EMC and Netapp..
It does work but iam more concerned about any performance issues wrt to Veritas volume manager stripping across luns from EMC and Netapp..
Really appreciate your input..

The one thing to be careful of is having conflicts with the multipath drivers. Sometimes they can battle over the FC card if a failure occurs. The safest bet is to have a dedicated HBA pair per storage subsystem.
