3. The array and logical drive information is shown on the Logical/Physical view
of the Storage Subsystem Management window. The arrays appear in
Contingent state (with an arrow icon) until all of the drives in the array are
inserted. The array appears in Exported - ready to import state.
4. If the migrated drives are FDE drives and were configured as part of a secured
array, use the saved security key from the storage subsystems that these drives
are migrated from to unlock the drives. Without this security key, the
controllers cannot unlock the drives to retrieve the array configuration data and
data on the drives.
5. Complete the following steps:
a. Click the name of the array that you want to import in the Storage
Subsystem Management window.
b. Click Advanced -> Maintenance -> Import Array.
c. In the confirmation window, click OK.
d. Click Import.
e. In the Import Array window, type yes and click OK.
f. Click Close.

v The Failed Unconfigured Drive icon (

migrating drive.
v Array configuration data on the drives that you added is incomplete.
Attention: Do not initialize a hard disk drive that you want to keep (by
right-clicking its icon and selecting Initialize from the pull-down menu) if it
contains configuration or user data. Initializing any of the drives in a defined
array causes all hard disk drives in an array to return to the Unconfigured
Capacity storage pool, deleting their array definitions from the configuration.
The user data on such drives is lost.
Result: When the arrays are online, they are ready for you to configure and
map to host servers. You might also then re-create FlashCopy images and
remote mirror relationships.
7. Use the DS Storage Manager program to view the storage partitioning
definitions and make any necessary corrections.
8. The storage subsystem that the drives are migrated from displays the logical
drives that are defined in these drives as missing LUNs. To remove these
missing LUN entries, right-click each entry and select Delete from the menu.
