P2000i G3 SAN storage for a C7000 - how to connect

[dbx13]

Hi everyone, I've practised due diligence in my search for an answer but need your advice now.

I have a C7000 with 5 x BL460 blades running Server 2008 R2, serving as HyperV hosts. The internal SB600c proved insufficient for hosting the HyperV VM's so I have turned to SAN storage. The only interconnects installed in the C7000 are two Flex-10's.

I have a P2000i G3 SAN with two four-port 1GBe controllers. How do I make the SAN storage available to all blades in the C7000? That is, how is it easiest to connect the P2000 to the C7000? Do I need additional interconnects or can I use the Flex-10's?

Thanks!

Dan

Thread closed, I was unsure how to gain the attention of both the Storage and Blade forums.
