Hi there
We have to migrate our existing AFF8080 which has NFSv3, ISCSI and CIFS data on it to a new location. The plan is to add a temp A300 in the new location, and add it to the AFF8080’s cluster with two cluster switches (they are sub 200M apart) ISCSI and CIFS should be fairly simple to migrate, but NFSv3 is IP-centric, so as we start the migration volume by volume, the data path for some of our vmware host will be extended somewhat… It will go via the AFF8080’s configured IP address over the cluster network to the A300 controller that holds the volume, and back again. Has anyone tried this with success? Of cause another way would be to migrate the VMs from the VMWare side, which I would like to avoid if possible, but I am a bit worried about the added latency over the cluster network…
Should I be worried?
