Set Disk Group Forced State

Description

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

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`diskGroup`	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.
