Importing PS Series and MD3 VMware volumes
91 Data Migration from Dell PS Series or PowerVault MD3 to Dell EMC SC Series Storage using Thin Import | 3041-BP-EM
Note: At this point, the virtual machines are in a usable state. As mentioned previously in this document, the
ESXi volume and associated virtual machines could experience increased I/O latency while the import is
running. When the import has completed, there may be a slight pause in I/O when all activity is moved to the
SC Series volume.
When the import has completed, the volume shown in External Devices folder will no longer show any
progress, and the external device mapping shown for the server will be removed. The Mappings tab
will now show the local SC Series volume mapped to the server.
23. Repeat the steps in this section (8.2.5) for any other PS Series or MD3 volumes that need to be
imported to the SC Series array. When all volumes have been imported, proceed to section 9 for
post-import steps.
