Syntax

start diskGroup [diskGroupName] export

Parameters

Parameter Description

diskGroup

Number of the disk group to defragment. You

must put brackets ([ ]) around the disk group

number.

Additional Information

When this command is successful, you can run the start diskGroup import command to finish

moving the disk group to a Complete state, which makes the disk group available to the new storage

array.

If this command is unsuccessful because hardware problems prevented the completion of the export,

use the set diskGroup forceState command. The set diskGroup forceState command lets

you use the start diskGroup import command to import a disk group.

After the disk group is in an Exported state or a Forced state, you can remove the physical disks that

comprise the disk group from the storage array. You can reinstall the physical disks in a different storage

array.

Start Disk Group Import

Description

This command moves a disk group into a Complete state to make a newly introduced disk group

available to its new storage array. The disk group must be in an Exported state or a Forced state before

you run this command. Upon successfully running the command, the disk group is operational.

NOTE: Within the disk group, you cannot move virtual disks that are associated with the premium

features from one storage array to another storage array.
