I find myself being unclear about what VAII integration means, and how to enable it, and I'm just not sure when/if and under what circumstances an array will perform the heavy lifting of a storage vmotion.
using vshpere 5.1 enterprise + and a new netapp array - wanting to migrate data from an older EVA4400 to the new netapp. If we do storage vmotions, will one or the other of the storage devices do the actual work of moving data, or will the hosts have to do it up in the software layer?
And if the arrays will participate (thereby making the process faster and consuming fewer cpu cycles on the hosts) Is there something that I need to do, to enable VAII integration on either of these arrays?
