jetstress (exchange 2013 expansion) new site

hello guys, we have a EXC13 deployment "site1" running up to 20.000 users (virtualized: vmware + netapp storage)

3 CAS and 3 MBX 

now we have a new site "site2" (datacenter) connected the "site1" all vlans and subnets were extended same vlans, subnets

we have to expand its EXC13 deployment to support 60.000 users and after planning using exchange calculator we'll have to increase the number of mailbox databases and logs

we have to migrate all mailboxes from site1 to site2 and then create the new users (40.000)

and we have the following doubts:

a. we have DAG1 , should we setup a new DAG? 

b. if we keep DAG1, how can I validade this setup using jetstress without impact the production environment? we have to validate the new storage before move mailboxes.

is this plan A going to work?

: deploy new servers (add 3 mailboxes and 1 cas) at site2 , validade the new storage (netapp) , then move mailboxes to there.

regards,

Thiago

The Exchange Requirements Calculator is your best friend. Use all your numbers to find the best DAG scenario for your user base. It will probable require you to build a new DAG with multi-role servers. Its best to be go off the preferred architecture.
