I've heard lots of FUD about the EMC Clariion/CX-series catching a virus
since they boot windows and sit on a network. Has anyone had a EMC
system get a virus?

Only on the connectrix service processors (the laptops the stuff in their
SAN racks).

Joe, if you perform a remote boot, or boot-from-SAN then yes, your hosts remote booting could be infected. This wouldn't infect the CX's OS per se. Otherwise, other than the service systems previously mentioned I'd say you have near NIL risk.
