Additional Information When this command is successful, you can run the start diskGroup import command to finish moving the disk group to a Complete state, which makes the disk group available to the new storage array. If this command is unsuccessful because hardware problems prevented the completion of the export, use the set diskGroup forceState command. The set diskGroup forceState command lets you use the start diskGroup import command to import a disk group. After the disk group is in an Exported state or a Forced state, you can remove the physical disks that comprise the disk group from the storage array. You can reinstall the physical disks in a different storage array. Start Disk Group Import This command moves a disk group into a Complete state to make a newly introduced disk group available to its new storage array. The disk group must be in an Exported state or a Forced state before you run this command. Upon successfully running the command, the disk group is operational. NOTE: Within the disk group, you cannot move virtual disks that are associated with the premium features from one storage array to another storage array. Syntax start diskGroup [diskGroupName] import Parameter Parameter Description diskGroup Number of the disk group to defragment. You must put brackets ([ ]) around the disk group number. NOTE: Higher-level virtual disks that are specifically related to premium features (Snapshot, Remote Virtual Disk Mirroring, Virtual Disk Copy, mapping, and persistent reservations) are removed as part of the import operation. You must run the show diskGroup importDependencies command before you run the start diskGroup import command. Start Disk Pool Locate This command initiates a location operation on all of the physical disks that comprise the specified disk pool. Syntax start diskPool [diskPoolName] locate Parameter Parameter Description diskPool The alphanumberic identifier of the disk pool (including - and _) that you want to locate. Enclose the diskPoolName in square brackets ([ ]). Start Enclosure Blink This command identifies an enclosure by turning on the indicator LED. (Use the stop enclosure blink command to turn off the indicator LED for the enclosure.) 209
