In this recipe, we will learn how to migrate VMware vSphere on HP C7000 to Cisco UCS.
The source ESXi host is running on an HP BL460c Blade Server, which is installed on an HP C7000 chassis. There are two Brocade 8 GB FC modules and two HP Flex-10 GB Ethernet modules installed on this chassis. The source ESXi host is connected to one EMC CX4-240 SAN storage unit through SAN Switches and one EMC LUN (ESXi datastore) is assigned to this ESXi host. Some virtual machines are running on this EMC LUN. To do the data migration, prepare one Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with two UCS IOM 2208XPs installed, each UCS IOM being connected to one Cisco UCS 6248UP. There is one UCS B200 M3 Blade Server 0 installed on this chassis. This blade is configured with one VIC 1240 adapter. Configure four ports on each Cisco UCS 6428UP as an Ethernet uplink port (port 17/18) and an FC uplink port (port 6/7), which is connected to SAN Switches and LAN Switches...
