• The -templ option is not valid for volumes that are fully provisioned. • The -shared and -wait option cannot be used when creating Thinly Provisioned Virtual Volumes with the -tpvv option. EXAMPLES The following example creates a 10 G TPVV named tpvv1 whose user space is allocated from the common provisioning group cpg1: cli% createvv -tpvv -usr_aw 50 -usr_al 75 cpg1 tpvv1 10G The following example creates 3 VVs vv1.2, vv1.3, vv1.4: cli% createvv -cnt 3 cpg1 vv1.2 1g The following example creates 2 VVs vva.0 and vva.1 which may share LDs: cli% createvv -cnt 3 cpg1 vv1.2 1g The following example creates a TPVV named tpvv1 with the template, temp2: cli% createvv -tpvv -templ temp2 cpg2 tpvv1 2g NOTES • Using the -shared option can be more efficient when creating a large number of small volumes since the system will attempt to share the underlying LDs. However, if volumes are subsequently removed, this can lead to unused space in the LDs that cannot be reclaimed. Using -cnt option without the -shared option avoids this problem, but can be inefficient when creating small volumes due to the overhead of creating a larger number of unshared LDs for the volumes. • Verify the creation of VV by issuing the showvv command. See "showvv" (page 506) for more information. • The maximum VV size is 16 Terabytes. • For this command: • MB = 1048576 bytes • GB = 1024 MB • TB = 1024 GB createvv 157
