There're some VMs in an old EQUALLOGIC Storage which were VMware made, is it possible to convert VMs from EQUALLOGIC Storage to a new Synalogy NAS ?
If yes, what are the steps?
u can do this using the feature called StorageVmotion (SVmotion) , or you can also try to import the existing vmdk file of the vm to the new storage.
Storage VMotion and MIgrate both require Virtual Center - if you do not have virtual center you will have to do it manually copy the vmdk file ove to the new storage and build a new vm and point to the existing virtual disks

Hi Randhir,
Thanks for quick reply, the EQUALLOGIC Storage is using iSCSI for connection and has VMware VC in management, I wonder the iSCSI will affect the VMware VC VMotion converting method?
