File migration woes from Unity
Hi All,
Just reaching out to find out if I'm missing something here - but in the latest 4.1 release of PowerStore OS - in order to use the native migration tools on PowerStore to migrate UnityXT NAS SMB data - we have to setup iSCSI???
Only reason I'm asking is that I have no free network ports to create iSCSI on Unity as we already have FC and SMB (+ replication) in place - and the documentation seems to state you cannot use FC only iSCSI.
Has anyone performed a NAS file migration from UnityXT to PowerStore?
Can anyone suggest a method for keeping the original server name and IP address (from Unity) on to the new PowerStore NAS? as it appears you cannot migrate FileSystems between NAS servers on PowerStore, or rename a NAS server? so once the data has been migrated at the moment it looks like I'm stuck with the new name and a DNS alias entry for the old name (if that will be supported by all the client machines)
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
