Importing Volumes from an External Storage Array
Storage Center can import volumes from an EqualLogic PS Series Storage Array or an MD Series Storage Array. There are two
methods for importing data from an external device, oine and online. Oine import copies the data from the source volume to the
destination volume. Online import maps the destination volume to the server and accepts IO during the import.
Oine Import
Oine import migrates a Volume from the source to the destination. The volume must then be mapped to the server after the
import.
Online Import
Online import creates a destination volume, maps it to the server, then migrates the data to the destination volume. IO from the
server continues to both the destination and source volumes during the import. Importing using the Online method can take longer
than oine due to IO continuing to the volume from the server.
Connect to an External Device (iSCSI)
After cabling an external device to Storage Center using iSCSI, congure Storage Center to communicate with the external device.
Prerequisite
The external device must be connected to the controller using iSCSI.
