Verifying prerequisites for iSCSI connections
On Storwize V5000 Gen2 systems, you can use iSCSI connections to migrate data from
different systems (Storwize V5010, V5020 and V5030) and to virtualize external storage
systems (Storwize V5030).
Migration considerations and configurations can vary depending on the type of system to be
migrated or virtualized. You can use an iSCSI attachment to migrate data from a Storwize
family system to a Storwize V5000 Gen2 system. Storwize V5000 Gen2 does not support
iSCSI connections to migrate data from Storwize V3500.
Migration from DS3200 and DS3500: For more information about how to cable and
perform migration from a DS3200 or DS3500 by using SAS, see the Storwize V5000 Gen2

Although the previous link leads to an SAS cabling example related to IBM Storwize V5000
Gen2 V7.8.1, the solution also applies to IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 V8.1.0.0.
