VP Snap of Virtual SQL databases

Question

Is it possible to do a VP Snap(VMAX20K) of SQL database/log luns on a virtual platform that are application consistent?  If I was to perform a VP snap of the luns containing the vmdk's of the data and log drives of a virtual sql server would that result in an application consistent snapshot?  If not, what are the options to do this at an array level without involving a 3rd party backup product such as Networker? Thanks, jeremy

without appsync ? It will work if you are ok with crash consistent copy (operatig system and application).

I have not but I will now.  Does that mean snapping the lun containing the datastore and relevant vmdk's will not work?
