Multiprotocol VDM import pause

You can pause an import session through Unisphere, UEMCLI, or REST. You can pause the session during the Initial Copy state (internally provisioning target, initial copy, or import configuration) and the Incremental Copy state.

This operation is useful when the network load is too heavy. If the import session is in the Initial Copy state, the pause operation fails the job that is running the Initial Copy. When the import session is paused, the session state remains unchanged but the health state is not OK. A paused import session can be resumed.
