translation is done at router level, so synology will allways report its own ip address. Only possible way I see, is to configure some kind of virtual server on your router if it allows you to do that

just wondering,what kind of data are you backing up ? Small files , big files ? I would test by linking the Mac and the icy box with a cross cable if I were you, this would provide the most optimal situation. What speeds are you obtaining when copying a large file from your mac to the icy box...
nopes, right approach. Just use snapmirror to move volumes, so you keep your snapshots as well.Target volume will have to be just a little bigger in size for snapmirror. It will mean downtime for all your servers indeed, but you should be able to do all the work in 1 big cutover,did it several...
best advice would to ask for a proof of concept. Try before you buy. This way you will see the impact on the performance. And be sure to make a good test plan, so you can clearly compare the performance results with your existing cx3. Make the tests relevant to the load of your production...
Taking into account it is "only" a DR site, I would go for the additional ports on existing switches. The 5300 are already considered as quite high-end switches that can be put as core switches of your SAN (redundant fans,PSU's, and ability to load and apply microcode without application...
No need to add second loop if you don't experience loop saturation.
For the copper cables, perhaps have a look on ebay
With regards to licenses, you're screwed indeed if you don't get any licenses, as by default nothing is licensed after an clean setup.

If you are looking at NetApp stuff, consider the fas2040 series with SAS drives. clustered solution, deduplication, thin provisioning,snapshotting.replication to a DR netapp is possible as well, snapdrive/snapmanager software provides application consistent backups of you SQL DB's...
With a normal raid controller, at boottime, you will see the raid controller initialize itself, you should see the bios blabla on the screen, and usually U need to enter a key combination to enter the RAID's card bios (ctrl+ something (usually ctrl+I) ), or if it is in the regular bios ( if the...
qlogic hba's are very commonly used, and can be put into all server types ( if the bus type matches of course ( pci-x, pci-e,...). With regards to the disk array, you will need to export the luns to the new servers (if you move the hba's, the wwpn's will remain the same normally, so no work...
there is no convention to the naming, you can name the virtual interface as you like, but good practice is to give it a meanful name like vif_nfs or vif_iscsi or sth, so you know for what the interface is mainly used.If you can provide me the serial number of one of the controllers, I can have a...
over which protocol will you be serving storage ? cifs, iscsi or fc ?
- if over iscsi or fc, check that the lun type is windows_2008 or windows ( win2003 server ),
- igroup type should be windows as well
- check if IP is configured redundantly ( multiple links, using a vif ( virtual...
on the commandline of the filer, issue the command
options autosupport
this will show you a list of the autosupport options as they are configured right now.
Then it's a matter to change what you need
(e.g. options autosupport.from blabla@domain.com)

looks indeed quite promising, but I would ask them to perform a proof of concept in your environment.Make sure the product performs as expected.Make sure you test usermappings, security, performance ( large sequential, smal random IO, how it handles large files ( 2 TB files, or directories with...
a small http server should normally already be present without a license required for that.The license adds more advanced http features.So software install http://blablabla should work

I think you can divide this into capacity - performance - connectivity
First of all, you will need to know what your current used capacity is of the systems you want to migrate to the san.
Next, what is the expected grow of the data? Are there new projects that will need to be deployed onto the...
The disk is overwritten by zero's. They do this for parity reasons. When a spare is introduced into a raid array, and all bits are at 0, when parity is calculated in the array, there will never be an impact:
1+0=1
0+0=0
Disk sanitization, this is a different story. The disk is overwritten...
In general, on any san, you cannot share a lun on the same time to 2 different servers ( and actively write to the lun ), that's all about scsi reservations.In an mscs you can share a lun ( for quota for example), where each node takes turns in doing a write, never simultanuous( the MS cluster...
Buy a netapp storage box. You can have 255 snapshots per volume, allowing you to keep 60 days of snapshots, taking a snapshot every 6 hours... If you only take 1 snapshot per day, this gives you a retention of 255 days.And the taking of the snapshot has no performance hit.
