276 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
The VMware ESX Storage vMotion feature might be an alternative to migrating
VMware clusters. For more information about this topic, see the following address:

– 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.

3. The Step 3 of the Storage Migration Wizard is to complete the mapping of external storage
LUNS (Figure 7-12 on page 277). Make sure that you record the information mentioned in
this step, as you need it for later steps. Click Next.
SCSI ID: You might need to record the SCSI ID of the volume to which the host is
mapped. Some operating systems do not support changing the SCSI ID during
the migration.
