4210 Moving from 1GBit Copper to 10GBit SFP+ Fiber
We have a PS4210 for Hyper-V usage that is currently connected through 2 old Dell 5424 (that isn't supported for iSCSI usage with the EQL).
We moving to a HPE 3810M SFP+. I already ordered 4 Dell Transceivers for the EQL side. I hope the 407-BBOU are the correct ones. On the HPE side we use HPE X132 (LC SR).
We already use the dedicated management ports for management.
What do I have to do when moving from GBit to 10GBit?
Just shut down all I/O traffic, unplug the GBit and plugin the transceiver?
As I see in the Group Manager there are no other eth Interfaces the SFP+, so I don't have to reconfige IPs?
Is there anything different to configure on the switch side for 10GBit?
I still can use 1GBit from Hyper-V Hosts to the switches for the SAN traffic, till I replace the hosts?

I always thought only the other way (10GbE on the host and GbE on the SAN) would be an issue?
If it is that serious I'll better get the new servers ready before making the move, so I match the speed on both sides.
