Parameter addPhysical Disks Description Identifies the physical disk by tray and slot location to include in the disk group. Tray ID values are 0 to 99. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. You must put parentheses around the tray ID values and the slot ID values. NOTE: When using this command, you can specify one or more of the parameters. You do not, however, need to use all of the parameters. Using too many parameters can cause host I/O errors or result in internal controller reboots because the time period ends before the disk group definition is set. NOTE: Host I/O errors might result in disk groups with more than 32 virtual disks. This operation also might result in internal RAID controller module reboots because the timeout period ends before the disk group definition is set. If you experience this issue, quiesce the host I/O operations, and try the command again. Set Disk Group Forced State This command moves a disk group into a Forced state. Use this command if the start diskGroup import command does not move the disk group to an Imported state or if the import operation does not work because of hardware errors. In a Forced state, the disk group can be imported, and you can then identify the hardware errors. Syntax set diskGroup [diskGroupName] forcedState Parameter Parameter diskGroup Description Sequence number of the disk group for which to set properties. You must put brackets ([ ]) around the disk group number. NOTE: You can move the physical disks that comprise a disk group from one storage array to another storage array. The CLI provides three commands that let you move the physical disks. The commands are start diskGroup export, start diskGroup import, and set diskGroup forcedState. In the Forced state, you can perform an import operation on the disk group. 188 Script Commands
