VNXe3200 migrate luns from FC to iSCSI
Hello,
Is it possible to migrate LUNs(Datastores) on a VNXe from FC to iSCSI. The VNXe is 98% full and cannot create new LUNs to do the migration. The question is; can I present the same LUN on FC to a host and iSCSI to another host? Or can I reattach a LUN that was presented to the host on the FC ports to the same host again using iSCSI ports? Any other suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks!

Hello nmc74,
Here is a link to the EMC VNXe Series Configuring Hosts to Access Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI Storage which should be of assistance.

Hi Dell-Sam L,
Thank you for your help,
Here's what I think I will do:
Put a host in maintenance mode, remove FC config from the array for that host, setup the iSCSI config on that host, configure iSCSI host access in the array, rescan ESXi host, make sure all datastores/paths are all visible, then remove the host from maintenance mode, and VMotion over VMs, then repeat steps for next host in the cluster.
