Create a generic import session

Create an import session for third-party systems.

Format

/import/session/generic create [-name <value>] [-descr <value>] [-srcSystemName <value>] -srcLUNWWN <value> {-targetRes <value> | -targetResName <value>} [-throttle {Low | Medium | High}] [-async]

Action qualifiers

Qualifier	Description
-name	Identifies the import session by unique name. If this name is not specified, it will be generated, using the pattern: <target LUN CLI ID>-<target LUN name>-<timestamp>. For example, the name might be generated as sv_1-LUN01-20180601T160654.
-descr	Specifies the import session description.
-srcSystemName	Remote third-party system name. If this name is not specified, the option is left empty and the session cannot be tracked by the remote system name.
-srcLUNWWN	Specifies the WWN of the source LUN. The WWN can be passed with the following four prefixes: wwn. nna. wwn-0x. 0x. It is possible to pass the WWN without any prefixes. For example, the following notations of WWN can be used: 50060485c5edaa5d—16 hexadecimal chars 50:06:04:85:c5:ed:aa:5d—Bytes separated by colons 50:6:4:85:c5:ed:aa:5d—Leading nibble of the byte dropped if the nibble is zero 50-06-04-85-c5-ed-aa-5d—Bytes separated by dashes NOTE If the system rejects the WWN as non-recognizable, you can convert the WWN manually to the Dell EMC Unity system form, such as 60:00:01:6F..
-targetRes	CLI ID of the destination storage resource.
-targetResName	Name of the destination storage resource.
-throttle	Specifies the import session throttle value. Valid values are: Low Medium High (default) NOTE You can change the Throttle setting when a session is running or paused. Only the /import/session/generic show -detail CLI command output will reflect this change when the session is running. However, after the session is completed, that command's output reflects the Throttle value that was set when the session was created, and not the changed value.
-async	Run the operation in asynchronous mode.

Example

The following command creates an import session.

uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /import/session/generic create –name lun_17_import -srcSystemName MyOldGranSystem -srcLUNWWN 06:00:00:00:05:00:00:00:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:03 -targetRes sv_1 –throttle High
