IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
After you click Delete, data migration from the MDisks to be removed starts. You can find the 
migration progress in the Running Tasks status indicator (Figure 8-33).

8.2.2  Importing MDisks
LUNs hosted on external storage systems can be migrated into IBM Flex System V7000 
Storage Node storage. Hosts, which used to be directly attached to those external storage 
systems, can continue to use their storage that is now presented by the IBM Flex System 
V7000 Storage Node instead.
To achieve this configuration, the existing external LUNs must be imported as an 
image-mode 
volume
 using the Import option. This action is possible for unmanaged MDisks only. Those 
disks must not have been added to a pool, as described in 8.2.1, “Adding MDisks to storage 
pools” on page 316.
If the Import option is used and no existing storage pool is chosen, a temporary 
migration 
pool
 is created to hold the new image-mode volume. This image-mode volume has a direct 
block-for-block translation from the imported MDisk to the volume presented from now on by 
the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node and existing data is being preserved.
