ISL or Not to

Hi All,

We'll be starting our migration to our new Array ns120 from our cx3-20.  The current SAN is the cx3-20 with two 220b's..standard config, each sp as a connection to each 220 and each host has a connection to each 220. The new array will ship with 300b's.

One of the main things we need to move is our ESX 3.5 (cx3) to the new Vsphere(NS120). The concept was to use vstorage motion move things like that..simple in theory. This assumes we have enough licensed ports on the new 300b's for bold new and old vmware servers, which we do not. Just wondering if it is sensible\smart to setup a ISL between a 220 and it's 300b counter part. I'm not suggest that all four become one be fabric, but two large fabrics during the migration.

Is this a support config? and should it be considered? Or is there something better

Cheers
