IBM System Storage DS3000, Programming Manual

Page: 347 / 652

Parameter
Parameter Description
volumeGroup The alphanumeric identifier of the Array (including - and
_) that you want to export. Enclose the Array identifier
in square brackets ([ ]).
Notes
When this command is successful, you can run the
start volumeGroup import
command to finish moving
the Array to a Complete state, which makes the volume group available to the new storage subsystem.
If this command is unsuccessful because hardware problems prevented the completion of the export, use
the
set volumeGroup forceState
command. The
set volumeGroup forceState
command lets you use the
start volumeGroup import
command to import a Array.
After the Array is in an Exported state or a Forced state, you can remove the drives that comprise the
volume group from the storage subsystem. You can reinstall the drives in a different storage subsystem.
Minimum Firmware Level
7.10
Start Array import
This command moves a Array into a Complete state to make a newly introduced Array available to its
new storage subsystem. The Array must be in an Exported state or a Forced state before you run this
command. Upon successfully running the command, the Array is operational.
NOTE Within the Array, you cannot move volumes that are associated with the premium features from
one storage subsystem to another storage subsystem.
