  • Dell VNX2 Series
  • Dell XtremIO X1 and XtremIO X2 (agentless import only)

Import of the following block storage resources is supported:

PowerStoreOS 3.x and later also supports importing file storage resources.

Before beginning the import process, ensure that you review the prerequisites and take necessary preconfiguration actions. For more information, see the context-sensitive help entry for this feature.
