Live migration of VMs to Simplivity vSphere 6.7

We are planning to deploy Simplivity for vSphere. OmniStack version 3.7..9, and ESXi version 6.7 U1. Currently we have a few non-Simplivity ESXi hosts, and we want to Live Migrate VMs to the new Simplivity Federation that resides in the sam vCenter Server Appliance. Current non-simplivity hosts have common storage that is accessible via FC connection. What are best practices to do Live Migration ?

Re: Live migration of VMs to Simplivity vSphere 6.7

Hi B0ris .... 

I have done so at one of my customers. i added a HBA to one of the Simplivity Nodes (this is supported only for migration) - then done the SAN Zoning and presentation of the LUNs to the Simplivity Node. Also you then have to allow / enable VMotion on the proper networks on the Simplivity node - often the management LAN but not nescessarely / solely. This worked for me.
