Figure 55. Portable Volumes Repl From Storage Center Node
11 Wait for the volume data to copy to the attached portable volume disks, and swap portable volume disks if necessary.
• If the volume space exceeds the storage available on the portable volume disks, when the attached portable volume disks ll up,
the State changes to Waiting for Disks to be Removed and Added.
– If you are using Dell USB disks, disconnect them and connect the remaining disks. Add new disks to the Portable Volume
node.
– If you are using Dell RD1000 disk bays, eject the full disk cartridges and insert new disk cartridges. Add new disks to the
Portable Volume node.
NOTE: If a new portable volume disk is added to an Invalid node, it contains data for a dierent transfer. If the data is not
needed, erase the disk before adding it to the Portable Volume node.
• If the connected portable volume disks have sucient capacity for the volume data, when the copy operation nishes the State
changes to Finished and Waiting for Disks to be Removed. Disconnect the portable volume disks.

Managing Replication Baselines and Portable Volume Disks
Move the Replication Data to the Destination Storage Center
After the replication baselines have been copied to the portable volume disk(s), transport the disk(s) to the destination Storage Center and
load the replication baselines.
1 After the replication baselines are copied or the portable volume disk(s) are full, remove them from the source Storage Center.
2 Connect the portable volume disk(s) to the destination Storage Center.
• You can connect the disks in any order.
• If you are using multiple portable volume disks, connect them simultaneously to improve performance.
When a portable volume disk(s) is connected, the destination Storage Center detects it and begins restoring the replication baseline.
3 Use the Storage Manager Client to monitor restore progress.
a Click the Storage view.
b In the Storage pane, select the destination Storage Center.
c Click the Storage tab.
d In the Storage tab navigation pane, select Repl Baselines From [ ].
e Use the Portable Volumes tab to view transfer progress.
• If there are more portable volume disks than can be connected simultaneously, when the copy operation completes, the
State changes to Waiting for Disks to be Removed and Added. Disconnect the portable volume disk(s) and connect the
remaining disks. If you are using RD1000 disk bays, swap the disk cartridges.
• When the replication baseline for a volume is nished restoring, it is removed from the table and the corresponding
replication appears on the Replications tab in the Replications & Live Volumes view.
4 After all replication baselines have been restored from the portable volume disk(s), disconnect the disk(s) from the destination Storage
Center.
