When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK.
Notes:
u Only deported dynamic disk groups can be imported.
u A deported dynamic disk group cannot be imported if another dynamic disk group with
the same name has been created since the dynamic disk group was deported.
u When a dynamic disk group is imported, the system stamps its host ID on all disks in the
dynamic disk group. A dynamic disk group import fails if one of the disks is stamped
with a host ID that does not match the others. This ensures that dual-ported disks cannot
be managed (and possibly corrupted)by twosystemsatthesametime.If youaresurethat
the dynamic disk group is not in use by another host, you can clear the host IDs and
import the dynamic disk group by selecting the
Clear Host ID option.
