DS3500 and may be installed into the empty slots of the target DS3500. The imported
array then will have the status "Exported - ready for import" in the target DS3500, as
shown in Figure 14-107.

14.8.2 Import Array procedure

The Import Array operation adds the imported array to the target storage subsystem. After
you complete the import array operation, all of the disk drives will have Optimal status. Any
associated logical drives or free capacities are now shown in the storage management
software installed for the target storage subsystem.
Important: You must insert
before the array can be imported.
Importing an array includes following these steps on the target storage subsystem:
1. Insert the exported disk drives into the available disk drive slots.
2. Review the Import Report for an overview of the array that you are importing.
3. Check for non-importable components.
4. Confirm that you want to proceed with the import procedure.
