ports ports Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. All specified ports must be the same type (e.g., FC). For port syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). If this parameter is omitted, all ports are selected. snap-pool snap-pool Optional. Name or serial number of the snap pool to associate with the new volume. For volume syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20). reserve size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB] Optional. Size of the snap pool to create in the vdisk. If this parameter is omitted, the size will be either 20% of the volume size or 5.37 GB, whichever is larger. The recommended minimum size for a snap pool is 50 GB. Use either this parameter or the snap-pool parameter. NOTE: In rare cases, a large amount of I/O can cause a snap pool that is too small to fill quickly. This can result in all snapshots being deleted due to the snap pool running out of space. Create snap pools of at least 50 GB to avoid this situation. snappable Optional. Specifies to create a master volume instead of a standard volume. prepare-replication-volume Optional. Specifies to create a secondary volume for use in a replication set. This parameter precludes use of the mapping, lun, and ports parameters because a secondary volume cannot be mapped. name A name for the new volume. The name is case sensitive; can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except a left angle bracket, backslash, comma, or double quote; and can have a maximum of 32 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. Example Create the 20-GB volume V1 in vdisk VD1, and map it to ports A1 and B1 using LUN 5: # create volume vdisk VD1 size 20GB ports a1,b1 lun 5 V1 Info: The volume was created. (V1) Info: The volume was mapped. (V1) Success: Command completed successfully. (V1) - The volume was mapped.
