Dell PowerStore Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide

Failures during non-disruptive import

Some failures might be intermittent in nature, for example, due to the load of the system or network. Usually, if the import attempt is not successful, the I/Os are not affected and they continue with the source volumes. A simple retry of import suffices for them. Sometimes, the resolution of network or load issues is required before retrying the import. When an import fails, the error message attempts to indicate in simple words to the end user what went wrong without getting too technical. If repeated attempts fail or, if the message is not helping, or both, contact your service provider.
