EasyTier pool - import of image mode with tier level designation

when migrating client environments in a newly deployed, EasyTier enabled environments, space restraints make an import of the existing client data impossible. a typical space proportion would be 10% flash, 30% enterprise and 60% nearline. When importing always automatically into enterprise tier, there is insufficient space. a work around is possible but very time intensive.

I would like to propose an optional choice in the image mode import assistent, where a designated tier level is selected.

after the succesful import, the EasyTier methodology remains unchanged, there is no property with a "tier designation". Just place the import data distributed in the designated tier and then start accounting I/O to that new volume like any other I/O inthe ET enable pool.
