Hi guys,
Lefthand looks awesome, but can I use my legacy SANs and grow into a LeftHand SAN? If so, which are the limitations? do I need to be 100% iSCSI, or can I use a server as a bridge between my iSCSI infrastructure and my FC SANs?

thanks!
Pablo.-

Hi Pablo,

Yes, you can connect the same server to a LeftHand iSCSI SAN and your existing Fibre Channel SAN. This will allow you to migrate data between the two, although you will have to use unique drive letters or device names for the LeftHand SAN volumes. There is also a way to present your Fibre Channel LUNs to LeftHand’s VSA software, which makes your Fibre Channel LUNs part of the LeftHand SAN, allowing you to automatically migrate all your data to the LeftHand SAN using Snapshot and Remote Copy, or Volume Replication.
