Set Array Forced State

This command moves an array into a Forced state. Use this command if the start array import command does not move the array to an Imported state or if the import operation does not work because of hardware errors. In a Forced state, the array can be imported, and you can then identify the hardware errors.

Syntax

set array [arrayName] forcedState

Parameter
Parameter Description
array The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the array that you want to place in a Forced state. Enclose the array identifier in square brackets ([ ]).
Notes

You can move the disk drives that comprise an array from one storage subsystem to another storage subsystem. The CLI provides three commands that let you move the disk drives. The commands are start array export, start array import, and set array forcedState.

In the Forced state, you can perform an import operation on the array.
