You work for a large company that has just acquired another smaller company. You have been asked to lead a group of SAN experts from both companies to design the integration plan that will be used to interconnect the SANs and migrate the data from the newly acquired company to the main storage arrays. The first thing that the team discovers is that the two SANs have the same domain IDs. As the SAN team lead, what would you advise your team to do so that you can interconnect the two SANs while minimizing disruption?
A) Use FCIP with Write Acceleration and IVR version 1 with a transit VSAN to expedite the data transfer between the two SANs.
B) Change the domain IDs on both SANs so that they are both unique and then connect ISLs between the SANs.
C) Use IVR NAT with a transit VSAN between the SANs.
D) The two SANs cannot be merged without disruption.
