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.
