Creating and Modifying Pools Moving a Pool You must complete these basic steps to move a pool to another iSCSI Storage Appliance: 1 Export the pool. (Exporting a pool prepares its RAID configuration for transfer.) 2 Move the disk drives that comprise the pool to the new iSCSI Storage Appliance. 3 Import the pool. 4 Reset authentication on any logical devices in the pool. Notes 1) Ensure that no iSCSI initiators are accessing a pool before you attempt to export it. Pools being accessed can't be exported. 2) Adaptec recommends that you not export a pool while it is building, rebuilding, or synchronizing. If you do, it appears as an alien pool when you import it to a new iSCSI Storage Appliance. To move a pool to another iSCSI Storage Appliance: 1 If possible, record the authentication settings of any logical devices in the pool. Ideally, you should re-use the same settings when resetting authentication. 2 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Appliance you want. 3 In the Logical Devices View, select the pool you want. 4 In the Actions menu, select Export pool. 5 Click Yes to export the pool. The pool's status changes to foreign. 6 Shut down both iSCSI Storage Appliances-the appliance you are exporting from and the appliance you are importing to. See "Shutting Down the iSCSI Storage Appliance" on page 104 for instructions. 7 Move the disk drives that comprise the pool to the new iSCSI Storage Appliance, following the manufacturer's instructions. 8 Power on the new iSCSI Storage Appliance. 9 In the Enterprise View of Adaptec Storage Manager, select the new iSCSI Storage Appliance. 10 In the Logical Devices View, select the pool you just exported. Note Only one foreign pool at a time can appear in Adaptec Storage Manager. 11 In the Actions menu, select Import pool. 12 Click Yes to import the pool. The pool is imported to the new iSCSI Storage Appliance. This process can take up to three minutes. 92 Snap Server 700i Series User's Guide
