We are connecting our old MD3200 SAN to our vSphere 6 environment as a backup system.
We have a NetApp as the primary storage system.
We will be cloning some 100 VMs for future testing over to the MD3200.
At some point, the primary vSphere 6 environment will be shipped out and we will keep the MD3200.
Down the road, we may want to reconnect the MD3200 to a new vSphere environment.
The question I have is,
when we connect the MD3200 to a new vSphere 6 environment at some point in time and make the iSCSI connections, will the volumes be initialized
or
once I make the connection and add them to the vSphere 6 environment, will the VMs will be available by adding them to the inventory?
thanks
