Sounds good. In UCS when you create a boot policy make sure to provide the SP WWNs as per the way they're connected to your fabrics (Eg SPA0, SPB1 to Fabric A - This will be your Primary Path & SPB0, SPA1 to fabric B This will be your secondary path) Make sure maintain the LUN ID "0" zero which is by default.
I recommend the document named "EMC host connectivity guide for windows" for your reference. Configuring EMC VNX series for boot from SAN see page 27, the chapter 2 describes the steps required to configure HBA card boot BIOS to allow an array-attached LUN to be used as a boot disk for server.

you simply create a LUN, boot configuration is done on the host.

Just create a LUN like you create any other LUN. While adding the LUN to the storage group you can manually make the HLU to'0' (Zero).

it does not have to be 0, it can be higher HLU as long as it gets selected in the BIOS of your HBA or Boot profile (Cisco UCS for example)
