The VMware VI Team blog recently had an entry announcing that Storage VMotion is now supported with iSCSI. Although many of you may not have known, until this announcement Storage VMotion was only supported with Fibre Channel storage. I did a video demo of Storage VMotion a few months ago when it came out. The funny story is that I actually had to redo the video after recording it the first time because initially I had used an iSCSI-based PowerVault MD3000i as the source. When I found out that iSCSI wasn't supported, I had to re-record it—no big deal—but it made me really appreciate this announcement of support. This really makes Storage VMotion much more compelling as you can use it to migrate your VMs between Fibre and iSCSI without interruption.
