Storage VMotion and Shrinking LUNS

Ah yes! Tuesday. I have resized a LUN and made it 100 GB from 250 GB to make room to migrate it. First attempt LUNs (initial and target) went offline due to lack of space. Yes - I know it is unsupported to do this but hey I'm a gamblin man. So LUNs back online after resize and aiming to complete migration ends in "The virtual disk is either corrupted or not a supported format" uh oh. Time to pull from a snapshot!

Rightfax connector has been fixed by pointing the gateway to our front-end exchange server - seems odd as months ago the same issue was fixed by pointing it to the server it was set to.

SME still not working on our troublesome exchange box. Netapp not available for comment. At this point I will create a brand new exchange server and point to our RDM's where the DB and logs are. Should be interesting...
