Context​

Note
Defragmenting a volume group starts a long-running operation that you cannot stop.

Syntax​

start volumeGroup [<var id="GUID-52BBCE96-E4AB-4985-A157-D1FFA2C90B5F__V1112040" className="keyword varname">volumeGroupName</var>] defragment

Parameter​

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

Notes​

Host I/O errors might result in the volume groups with more than 32 volumes. This operation also might result in internal controller reboots because the timeout period ends before the volume group definition is set. If you experience this issue, quiesce the host I/O operations, and try the command again.
