Reversing Import-in-Place (performing Export-in-Place)
Reversing the import of LUN data to a VSM virtual disk requires restoring the data that was saved to
backup space when a VSM signature was written to the back-end LU. The process is not reversed by
simply deleting the virtual disk created by the mapping process and removing the back-end LU from
the storage pool. Use the following procedure to restore all the data to the original LUN and delete
the virtual disk.
