Creating a managed set of containers for host volume groups Create a managed set of storage containers that correspond to the virtual disks that underlie a host volume group. See containers and managed sets. Considerations • You can use the GUI or jobs to create the containers. See host volume, host volume groups actions cross reference. • See also Creating a managed set of containers for host volumes. • See also Creating managed set of containers for host disk devices Procedure This procedure uses the GUI. 1. In the navigation pane, select Host Volumes. 2. On the Host Volume Groups List tab, select the host volume group that you want to create containers for. 3. Select Actions > New Container. The Create Container window opens. Follow the instructions in the window. Creating host volumes Create host volumes on an enabled host. Considerations • You can use the GUI, jobs, or the CLUI to present the virtual disk to the enabled host. • You can use a job with create-host-volume style commands. See host volumes actions cross reference. Procedures Creating a host volume using a GUI presentation action 1. In the navigation pane, select Virtual Disks. The content pane displays virtual disks. 2. Click the List tab. 3. Select the unpresented virtual disk that is to be the basis for a host volume. 4. Present the virtual disk to the enabled host. Procedure. 5. A host volume is created on the enabled host. 6. To identify the host volume, perform the following steps. 7. Navigate to the Host Volumes content pane and select the Host/Host Volumes/Components tree view. 8. In the tree view, locate the enabled host and expand the tree to the component level. The new host volume is the one whose component is the virtual disk that you specified in the presentation action. Creating a host volume using job commands 1. Create a job and include the appropriate host volume commands. See CreateHostVolume, CreateHostVolumeGroup, CreateHostVolumeDiscrete, and PresentStorageVolume. 2. Run the job. The host volume is created on the enabled host. 130 Host volumes
