File Mobility for File Import
To import File storage from external sources, configure File Mobility in PowerStore Manager and configure a network for File Import on the ToR switches and in PowerStore Manager. File Mobility is configured on the Management switch, while the File Import interface is configured on the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches.
