Let me try to reexplain what i'm trying to accomplish. I am implementing a new SAN and need to consolidate my vmdks and other storage
I have an exchange server that is in my vmware infrastructure
It's c drive is in an existing shared storage datastore as it should be and moving it to the new san is no problem
It's D drive is connected to a Netapp SAN using iscsi,.
It's E and F drive are connected to another Storage appliance through iscsi.
What i need to accomplish is converting these iscsi drives to a vmdk and storing them on my new SAN. I need to do this to utilize Veeam and my new hardware.
My question then is how should i accomplish this having as small of downtime as possible. My initial thought was to do a P2V into a new machine. Now i'm wondering if i can just "virtualize" those iscsi drives and add them to the existing VM.
Thoughts/ideas?
Thanks
