show volumeGroup [<var id="GUID-1F7884B8-FE0F-4B4D-B2F8-8CC81D21D144__V1112036" className="keyword varname">volumeGroupName</var>] importDependencies 
[cancelImport=(TRUE | FALSE)]

Parameters

ParameterDescription
volumeGroup The name of the volume group for which you want to show import dependencies. Enclose the volume group name in square brackets ([ ]).
cancelImport The setting to spin the drives back down after the volume group dependencies have been read. To spin down the drives, set this parameter to TRUE . To let the drives stay spinning, set this parameter to FALSE .

This command returns the dependencies of a specific volume group, which must be in an Exported state or a Forced state. If a decision is made to retain the listed dependencies, then the cancelImport parameter can be enforced to spin the drives back down.
