Migrating the MSCS 2008 virtual machine to Cisco UCS
In this recipe, we will learn how to migrate the Microsoft Clustering 2008 virtual machine from the HP Proliant Server to Cisco UCS.
Getting ready
There are two ESXi 5.5 hosts running on a HP DL380e Gen8 that has two 8 GB FC dual port bus host adapters and a 1 x 1 GB qual ports Ethernet adapter. Both source machines are connected to one EMC CX4-240 SAN Storage through SAN Switches and one shared EMC LUN is assigned to these two ESXi hosts. There are two Microsoft Windows 2008 Clustering virtual machines (Cluster-Node1 and Cluster-Node2) and both are running on both ESXi hosts. For data migration, prepare one Cisco UCS 5108 Chassis with two UCS IOM 2208XPs installed, each UCS IOM being connected to one Cisco UCS 6428UP. There is one UCS B200 M3 with one VIC 1240 installed on this chassis. Configure four ports on each Cisco UCS 6428UP as an Ethernet uplink port (port 17/18) and an FC uplink port (port 6/7), connected to SAN Switches and LAN...
