Importing an Existing Storage Pool (CLI)
The import action allows you to import an unconfigured storage pool. A storage pool can be
unconfigured because of an inadvertent action, factory reset, or service operation to recover
user data. Importing a storage pool required iterating over all attached storage devices and
discovering any existing state. This can take a significant amount of time, during which no
other storage configuration activities can take place.
Before You Begin
Do not perform a pool configuration operation while a disk firmware upgrade is occurring. To
check if an upgrade is in progress, navigate to maintenance system updates.
1.
Go to configuration storage.
2.
Enter import.
hostname:configuration storage (pool0)> import
Search for storage. Begin the process of searching for existing storage pools.
