If you are using XenServer, you should be able to talk to the NetApp using XenServer's Storage Manager.
You can either create XenServer pools connected to NetApp, using Host Aggregates to build up your pool, or use the Storage Manager integration to expose volumes to your VMs on local storage.
It depends exactly what your requirements are.

Hope that helps,
John
