We currently have a physical file server setup like this:
WIndows 2008R2
iSCSI storage on a EMC VNXe of 4.5 TB. Dual bound NICS.
Dual bound LAN NICS.
The local server drive for the SAN storage consists of 3 spanned volumes.
I need to virtualize this box but I am uncertain of the best procedure. How will VMWare Converter handle this configuration?
I need to keep the storage as iscsi because I do not have enough space on the SAN to create a 4.5 TB vmware storage space.
Would this be as simple as disconnecting the iscsi connection to the SAN and running converter and then reconnectin the SAN?
OR, should I not use converter and build a new vm?
Thanks
