Set volume group forced state

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

Supported Series

This command applies to any individual storage system, including the HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100 and AB3100 series, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.

Roles

To execute this command on an HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100, or AB3100 storage system, 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 [volumeGroupName] forcedState

Parameter

Parameter Description

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 system to another storage system. 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.
