LUN migration from Equallogic to EMC

I have few virtual servers connected to LUN using its guest iscsi initiator.
I am looking for  the way to migrate them to EMC storage.
Is there any easy way to do using any tools?
I am thinking of doing one of these not sure whether it will do the job, I like your comments and suggestion.

Convert that LUN to virtual LUN the storage motion it to vmdk.

Both methods sound good to me, thank you for the help.
I have a question the storage EMC is going to be on its own subnet and equallogic is going to be on its own subnet. These subnets are not routable.
I belive that storage motion will happen provided the Esxi is connected to both storage, am i correct on it?

The ESXi hosts need to be contactable, because the data passes through the host!

So yes, if the SANs are both connected to the same host, no problems.
