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.
