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, offline and online.
• Offline import migrates a Volume from the source to the destination. The volume must then be mapped to the server after the import.
• Online import creates a destination volume, maps it to the server, then migrates the data to the destination volume. I/O from the
server continues to both the destination and source volumes during the import process. Importing using the Online method can take
longer than offline due to I/O continuing to the volume from the server.
Connect to an External Storage Array (iSCSI)
After cabling an external device to Storage Center using iSCSI, configure Storage Center to communicate with the external device.
Prerequisites
The external device must be connected to the controller using iSCSI.
Steps
1. If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2. Click the Storage tab.
3. From the Storage tab navigation pane, select an iSCSI fault domain from the Fault Domains node.
4. Click Create Remote Connection.
The Configure iSCSI Connection dialog box opens.
5. In the Remote IPv4 Address field, type the IPv4 address of the external device.
