Export and Import a Volume

The ReadyDATA 5200 lets you export an existing volume by exporting the disks on which the
volume resides. You can physically insert the disks in other slots of the chassis, in an optional
expansion disk array, or in another ReadyDATA 5200 that runs the same firmware version.
The share names and all share data, the LUN names and all LUN data, and all snapshots on
the shares and LUNs are migrated to the new location, but you need to redefine the following
settings:
• For shares: User permissions if an Active Directory is not integrated.
• For LUNs: iSCSI targets and initiator permissions.
Other than a minimal downtime during the export and import process, users are not affected,
provided that you redefine these settings.
