All LUNs are connected to the hosts via FC, there are 350km between the two DCs,
it's not possible to connect the remote SAN to the current RAC nodes, but it's possible to connect them to the temporary storage.

I'm aware that with ASM data can be migrated between SANs. Anyway, the second part of point 2 - remove "old" space - would be too risky. We definitely need to test the actions before the actual migration without compromising the current production. We also need to be able to "rollback" quickly in case anything goes wrong.

Thanks!
