Dell PowerStore Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide
Cutover workflow for agentless import
You can cutover an import when the import session reaches the Ready For Cutover state. The following steps show the manual import workflow in PowerStore Manager:
- Select the import session to cutover.
- Select the
Cutover import action to cutover to the
PowerStore cluster. The volume or volume group status updates to
Import Complete upon successful cutover.
NOTE:When all the volumes in a volume group are cutover successfully, the state of the import session is set to Import Complete. However, since the status of the volume group depends on the final status of the member volumes, if one or more of the member volumes are in a state other than Import Complete, the status of the volume group is set to Cutover_Failed. Repeat the cutover operation again until it succeeds and the status for the volume group becomes Import Complete.
NOTE: Import sessions are not deleted. If you want to delete the import session, use the delete operation that is available only through the REST API. For more information about the REST API, see the
PowerStore REST API Reference Guide.
