Is MD3000 supported for failover on VMware?

Question

Previous versions of the MD3000 support matrix stated that VMware ESX 3.5 and VMware ESX 3i version 3.5 had "Support for single server only with no failover". The latest (August 2010) version of the support matrix no longer includes that restriction, but I can't find a note in the latest firmware readme file of an enhancement for VMware.
Please can you confirm whether MD3000 at firmware release 07.35.31.60 now support dual-hba connection to ESX 3.5 / ESX 4.0 hosts with failover?
Also, what is the situation with ESX 4.1 support?
Thanks, Gary
