Hi all,
Just wanting to know if anyone has any experience with P2V large Windows file servers with multiple ~2TB disks. I am unable to use the usual robocopy method as we use an archiving product that requires us to do a block level transfer of the data. I currently have approximately 8 x 1TB - 2TB LUNs attached as RDM's and am migrating from a Clariion SAN to a Dell Compellent storage array. Essentially I am trying to avoid the downtime required to do an offline thin import from one storage array to the other while also converting my RDM's to vmdk's.
I will be attempting the P2V this weekend as it is a long weekend in AUS and I was hoping for any tips I could apply prior to the start to try and help ensure the P2V goes smoothly.
Thanks,
AK.
