Setting the ForceImport attribute

After the VCS campus cluster is configured, set the ForceImport attribute. The command for implementing the force import setting in VCS is:

hares -modify vmdgResourceName ForceImport 1|0

ForceImport is a flag that defines whether the agent forcibly imports the disk group when exactly half the disks are available. The value 1 indicates the agent imports the configured disk group when half the disks are available. The value 0 indicates it does not. Default value is 0. This means that the disk group will be imported only when SFW acquires control over the majority of the disks.

Caution:

Set this attribute to 1 only after verifying the integrity of your data. If due caution is not exercised before setting this attribute to 1, you risk potential data loss.

Example:

hares -modify vmdg_Dg1 ForceImport 1

Here, import is forced on vmdg_Dg1.
