VMAX + Celerra VG8

Just trying to get some clarification since most of this information is hard to dig up.

I have a VMAX which already has two ThinPools setup, One configured R5 15Krpm FC (about 20TB available) and one configured R5 7200RPM 1TB drives.(about 100TB available).  These pools are for general use and other servers will be using them.  I am only looking at presenting 3TB FC and 20TB SATA to the VG8.  EMC set up the Celerra initially and it is booting from the VMAX

From other posts I've read,  I see that you need to fully allocate TDEVS/ luns to a gateway box and let the Celerra do it's thing. Do I still need to use emulation=celerra-fba like I have in the past? 

Also, we are going to be upgrading to enginutiy 875 code to enable FAST 2...  Wondering if that would play well w/ the Celerra or should I be doing something entirely different?  (Removing Devs from the Thin VP Pools and creating separate ones only for the Celerra).  Hopefully it wouldn't come down to that.

Just trying to get some professional opinions.

Thank you,
