Hello everyone,
I have what is probably a very stupid question, but I don't have a lot of experience with VMware so please excuse me... I have recently inherited a vSphere 5.0 estate that consists of two Dell R710s connected to a Dell EqualLogic SAN via iSCSI. I have been asked to replace the R710's as they are old and need replacing. What I would like to do is to buy some new Dell R720 Servers to replace them with, whilst at the same time upgrade the environment to the latest release (5.5) but I am unsure of the best upgrade path to take or how I can migrate the VMs across to the new 5.5 Servers? So in the end I want the old R710 / 5.0 Servers with a new set of R720 / 5.5 Servers still using the same EqualLogic storage. Any help or advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated .
