An administrator is performing a migration of a physical cluster that uses boot from SAN into private cloud. The systems administrator needs to minimize the downtime required. Which of the following…

Cold system cloning requires the physical server to be fully powered off for the entire cloning duration, producing the maximum possible downtime rather than minimizing it.

Storage migration on the hypervisor requires the P2V conversion to complete first before storage can be relocated, adding sequential steps that extend the total downtime window.

Copying the SAN LUNs into hypervisor datastores converts the existing boot volumes into a format the hypervisor can manage natively, allowing VMs to be created from the migrated data without dependency on the original SAN infrastructure. This method permits the LUN copy operation to occur while the physical system remains partially operational, reducing the offline window to the final cutover switchover only. Once the LUNs are in the datastore, the hypervisor manages I/O directly, eliminating the SAN boot dependency and completing the true P2V migration.

Raw device mapping or pass-through LUNs keep a direct dependency on the original SAN infrastructure rather than migrating the data into the private cloud, leaving the environment exposed to the same physical SAN constraints post-migration.
