Lun Size best practice for UC apps and VMWare?

Hi,

We have UCS manager v2.1 with FI 6248 direct FC attached to NetApp with plenty of storage.

Per following doc, Lun size for UC apps should be 500GB - 1.5TB and 4 to 8 VMs per Lun.

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Storage_System_Design_Requirements#Best_Practices_for_Storage_Array_LUNs_for_Unified_Communications_Applications

We have four B200M3 blades and 3 to 4 UC apps (CUCM, Unity, UCCX) will be hosted on each blade. May add more VM the blades in the future.

I am thinking four 1 TB Luns and one for each blades. (actually 8 Luns in toal, 4 boot luns for ESXi and 4 for UC apps).

What is the best practice (or common deployment) to create Lun size and design?

Thanks,
Harry

UC apps need low IO,nothing special,Reference vmware LUN design is ok.
