Hello everyone,
I tried to find an article or whitepaper or even just a blog about how to do this but no luck. I'm hoping someone here has done this and can give me some insight as to the best way to do this.
We currently have a datastore that resides on an MD3600i and it is direct attached. We are wanting to bring a switch into the mix and remove the direct attached option.
We want to remove the PERC, add in some intel 10GbE nics and then re-connect to the LUNs that way. We currently have about 15 Vms running against that datastore so... what do I do!? LOL
Thanks in advance,
EDIT:
To hopefully clarify what I'm trying to do. I don't want to create a new datastore with new luns. The data is not physically moving. It's still sitting on the same disks in the same MD3600i.
I want to update the existing datastore to point to the same luns via the new 10Gbe nics instead of through the old PERC card. can this be done and if so how?
