Start volume group import

The start volumeGroup import command moves a volume group into a Complete state to make a newly introduced volume group available to its new storage array.

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​

The volume group must be in an Exported state or a Forced state before you run this command. Upon successfully running the command, the volume group is operational.

Note
Within the volume group, you cannot move volumes that are associated with the features from one storage array to another storage array.
