378 IBM Midrange System Storage Hardware Guide
Check that the drives to be imported are supported by the storage subsystem.
– The storage subsystem must support the type of drives that you are exporting (that is,
an intermix of SATA and Fibre Channel drives).
– You cannot exceed the maximum number of drives supported by the storage
subsystem.
– Make sure that the drives are compatible with the storage expansion enclosure. For
example, insert a 4 GB drive into a storage expansion enclosure that supports 4 GB
drives.
You cannot exceed the maximum supported number of logical drives.
Make sure that the storage subsystem has the latest applicable controller firmware,
nonvolatile storage random access memory (NVSRAM), and ESM firmware. Also, make
sure that the installed controller firmware in the storage subsystem supports the drives
and expansion enclosures.

Perform the following steps:
1. In the Subsystem Storage Manager window, select the array to be exported.
