Dell PowerStore Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide
Windows-based hosts
The following restrictions apply during a non-disruptive import involving Windows-based hosts:
- The following Windows Dynamic Disk volume types are not supported:
- Simple volume
- Spanned volume
- Mirrored volume
- Striped volume
- RAID5 volume
- IDE device and SCSI device under Hyper-V configuration are not supported.
- Modifying the operating system disk state after initiating or canceling an import operation are not supported.
- A LUN having more than 32 paths (sum of source and destination paths) is not supported. This restriction is a Windows MPIO limitation.
NOTE:After a Windows host plugin install, certain
LogScsiPassThroughFailure error messages may occur during import for
Dell VNX2 systems. These messages can be ignored. Also, after the I/O path becomes active toward
PowerStore during an import operation, all I/Os are bound to one port of the network interface controller.
