MS Clustering with SAN - moving from iSCSI

$

Hey,

 

I have been very fortunate in that my company has replaced their old EMC SAN with a new one and I get the old one for my VMware lab :-)  sweet... so I am moving all my lab VMs to fibre storage.

 

In my lab, I have several windows server 2008 clusters and they have witness disks.  Currently they are software iSCSI done with the windows OS.

 

I don't have to change that I guess... but I may need to use the iSCSI device for something else like backups, so I would like to be able to move the witness/quorum disks to FC.

 

So first question... is there some form of software FC that I use to get at the LUN from within the guest, or do I just map the RDM to a LUN by adding a harddisk to the guest?  and then map the vmdk again to the second node?

 

Secondly, I know I can change the quorum/witness disk, there are plenty of posts about doing that... I guess there is no way to copy the iSCSI LUN to the FC LUN?

 

Just wondering anyway.

 

Thanks

Bill
