The Import page allows the user to import VNX1/VNX2 Block and File resources to Dell Unity. The Import page, as shown in Figure 28, gives the user the workflow needed to setup an import session including setting up interfaces, system connections, and finally configuring import sessions. With existing import sessions, the user can apply different actions including Pause, Resume, Cutover, Cancel, Commit, and Download a Summary Report. In the Connections tab, the user can setup a system connection, Discover Import Objects, and Verify and Update a system connection as needed. After the prerequisites are met, the Create Import Session Wizard guides the user through the configuration needed to start importing storage resources to Dell Unity. For more information, review the Dell Unity: Migration Technologies white paper.
Dell Unity OE version 4.4 and later includes SAN Copy Pull as a part of the code. SAN Copy Pull is a migration tool which migrates data from block storage resources, either stand-alone LUNs/Volume or VMFS Datastores, found on supported systems to Dell Unity. All the configuration, creation, and management of SAN Copy Pull sessions is only available through ULI or REST API. For more information, review the Dell Unity: Migration Technologies white paper.
