Which requirement of a source storage system is invalid when participating in PowerStore Native Import migration?

The statement "With iSCSI connectivity between source and PowerStore, Global storage IP address is not required" is an invalid requirement because it describes the absence of a requirement, not a prerequisite itself. The actual requirements for native import are positive conditions that must be met. For instance, administrator privileges, and specific connectivity types for source arrays (iSCSI for EqualLogic, FC for VMAX/PowerMax) are all valid, documented prerequisites. While the statement itself is factually true (no such "Global storage IP" is needed), it is not a requirement for the migration process and is therefore the invalid item in the list of requirements.

B. Administrator privileges are required...: This is a valid requirement. The import process needs elevated permissions on the source array and hosts to discover and manage storage objects.

C. For EqualLogic, the front-end connectivity must be iSCSI: This is a valid requirement. Dell EqualLogic is an iSCSI-only platform, so import must use this protocol.

D. For PowerMax or VMAX, the front-end connectivity must be FC: This is a valid requirement. The native import feature for these specific high-end arrays supports only Fibre Channel connectivity.

1. Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide (for PowerStoreOS 3.x), Page 10, "VMAX3 and PowerMax requirements". It states, "Front-end connectivity must be Fibre Channel."

2. Importing External Storage to PowerStore Guide (for PowerStoreOS 3.x), Page 11, "Dell EqualLogic PS Series requirements". It states, "Front-end connectivity must be iSCSI."

3. Dell PowerStore: Migration Technologies, Pages 10, 22, 25. This white paper confirms the connectivity requirements for VMAX, EqualLogic, and the need for administrative credentials for the import process. It does not list the absence of a "Global storage IP" as a requirement.
