Start Disk Group Import

Description

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

Parameters

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 Replication, 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.
