migrating from ns-120 to vnx5300

hello,

we just finshed standing up our vnx. i am reaching out for some advice on migrating all of my machines from the ns to the vnx. we are using software iscsi on all of our esxi hosts.  when we configured the iscsi networking on the vnx we created a brand new issci network. 

old iscsi network - 192.168.50.x

new iscsi network - 10.10.10.x

the next step i believe is to present the storage pools up to my esxi hosts. this is were im kind of stuck. do i need to add new nics to my hosts to point them to the 10.10.10.x network?? or what would be the best way to handle that?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

cheers.

    Hello Charlie,

    The simplest (and probably the best) would be to add another (secondary) IP from your 10.10.10.x range to your existing nics, (ideally with VLANs);

    If performance is needed, new NICs would be better…

    Regards, Benoît
