ESX server migration to VMAX using SVMotion

Hi All,

The questions are

  1. Does  it depends where the existing storage is connected to (Here HP EVA6000 and DS4800)
  2. Is it possible to just vmotion just the VMs what they need from existing configuration to VMax presented storage.
  3. Any dependency with the number of VMs on the current configuration to be Vmotioned.
  4. Any Size dependency limits on Vmotioning.
  5. Cluster Dependency.
  6. Also It should be 100% online and Absolutely No downtime right ?
  7. Do we care what apps are running on current VMs?
  8. Any approx guess for time to do this depending on the Number of VMs and space.
  9. best practices to keep in mind while building thinpools or Volumes on VMAX to present to the ESXs to support for Vmotioning for now and SRDF for future.
  10. Any other options than Vmotioning ?
