The start volumeGroup import command moves a volume group into a Complete state to make a newly introduced volume group available to its new storage array.
Supported Arrays
This command applies to any individual storage array, including the E2700, E5600, E2800, E5700, EF600 and EF300 arrays, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.
Roles
To execute this command on an E2800, E5700, EF600, or EF300 storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.
Context
The volume group must be in an Exported state or a Forced state before you run this command. Upon successfully running the command, the volume group is operational.

Within the volume group, you cannot move volumes that are associated with the features from one storage array to another storage array. |
