– Prerequisites:
• Make sure that the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Fibre Channel ports
have been connected to the SAN fabrics to which the external disk controller and
hosts you want to migrate from are connected.
• If you have VMware ESX hosts in the migration, make sure the VMware ESX hosts
are set to allow volume copies to be recognized.
