2 In the Storage tab navigation tab, expand QoS Proles and select the prole to be deleted.
3 Right-click the prole and select Delete.
A conrmation dialog box opens to request approval for the deletion.

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, oine and online.
• Oine 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 oine due to I/O continuing to the volume from the server.
