Certainly.
The good news is that people *have* made it work and are rather happy
with the setup. The first question I have is this: do you plan on
running multiple servers against the same data file on the netapp
filer? Or are you only going to have one active server (with another
available in case the first one dies)?
If you're only using a single server, it should work very well. If
you're using multiple servers, it should still work if you tell MySQL
to use it's external locking feature. Of course, you'll need to test
it in your environment. But I've heard of folks making it work.
Hope that helps a bit...
