Hi,
We'll be consolidating 2 sites into one soon, and as part of that we'll have to move blades and iSCSI storage from one site to the other and re-IP them in the process.
This is what I had in mind, please let me know if I'm missing anything:
- Shutdown everything and move equipment
- Power up iSCSI storage and re-IP it
- Power up blades and change their IPs
(at this point all datastores and VMs on them show as inaccessible)
- Add blade IPs to storage unit to allow access
- In Storage Adapters / iSCSI / Dynamic Discovery, remove old storage IPs and add new IPs, rescan storage
Here we should have our datastores back and all VMs on them show normal, we should be good to start powering up VMs.
Anything I've missed? I've done similar work a few times but not in the last year or so, just wanted to do a sanity check. We're running ESXi 4.6 build 1050704.
Thanks
