Set volume group forced state

The set volumeGroup command moves a volume group into a Forced state.

Supported Arrays​

This command applies to an individual DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4000F, DE6000H, or DE6000F storage array.

Roles​

To execute this command on an storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.

Context​

Use this command if the start volumeGroup import command does not move the volume group to an Imported state or if the import operation does not work because of hardware errors. In a Forced state, the volume group can be imported, and you can then identify the hardware errors.

Syntax​

set volumeGroup [<var id="GUID-BEEEF5EE-C9DE-4752-B0CA-561D044EDF19__V1112024" className="keyword varname">volumeGroupName</var>] forcedState

Parameter​

ParameterDescription
volumeGroup The name of the volume group that you want to place in a Forced state. Enclose the volume group name in square brackets ([ ]).

Notes​

You can move the drives that comprise a volume group from one storage array to another storage array. The CLI provides three commands that let you move the drives. The commands are start volumeGroup export , start volumeGroup import , and set volumeGroup forcedState .

In the Forced state, you can perform an import operation on the volume group.
