Good day peeps,
My first post here since Broadcom tookover VMware..ha ha..
I wanted to discuss about best options when it comes to moving existing VMware workload to new SAN. We have Dev environment as well as Prod environment. Our environment isn't exactly complex or too big. We have 3 ESXi hosts in Dev and 20 ESXi hosts in Prod. Prod has 320 VM's in total. We have 100 datastores in Prod and 20 datastores in Dev.
Currently we're using Dell SC series iSCSI SAN.
Question is what would be best approach to take when moving to new SAN? New SAN would obviously mean new LUN's and new Datastores.
We also have Zerto VPG's, VRA's and backup tools which looks at datastore for replication and backups. How would you go with Zerto and backup without causing disruption??
We are not sure which SAN we will choose yet so this is just generic post to get ideas.
Is creating new LUN's, datastores on new SAN and exposing them to ESXi host all that requires before doing storage vMotion?
vCenter version is 7.0.3 with similar ESXi version.
