The requirment of all the nodes contributing storage to be up "for auto-importing the dg" is only during cluster startup (all nodes down and each node coming up). Once the dg got imported, lets say with DAS storage contributed by 3 nodes, if any node...
When the cluster is starting freshly after all nodes down, all the disks for a dg need to be there to import the dg. This is because we don't know which disks have latest configuration copy or data. So the behaviour that will be seen is of [3]

Here is how FSS works in the case node B is joining and it earlier had REMOTE disk out of exported disk from Node A.
step 1: During Join process on node B, node B receives the exported disks list from node A. (if there are more nodes in the cluster,...
