Brocade SAN and Cisco SAN ISL

[virendrata]

Hi,

We have existing VNX storage connected to the Brocade SAN switches. (no  free ports available on Brocade SAN Switches)  

We have procured new AFF400 and Cisco SAN switches. Our objective is to migrate the data from VNX to NetApp.

Please help on how can we achieve this. Can ISL be done between OLD Brocade and New Cisco SAN switches. 

From VNX the LUN are mapped to Windows servers

I am not sure that is still supported - all the hardware models referenced there are extremely, extremely old - like 1/2/4Gbps FC switches.

The original poster may have to perform a FC switch migration first. Or, contemplate if they can safely free up some ports.
