create volume Description Creates a volume in a vdisk. You can specify a size and name for the volume, and map it to hosts. Syntax create volume vdisk vdisk size size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB] [mapping ports.LUN] [access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access] [lun LUN] [ports ports] [ovms-uid ID] name Parameters vdisk vdisk Name or serial number of the vdisk to create the volume in. For syntax, see Command syntax. size size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB] Sets the volume size using the current base, as shown by show cli-parameters. The unit can be specified as follows: • If base 2 is in use: B (bytes), KiB (kibibytes), MiB (mebibytes), or GiB (gibibytes) • If base 10 is in use: B (bytes), KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), or GB (gigabytes) If no unit is specified, the unit is blocks. mapping ports.LUN Optional. The ports and LUN to use for all hosts that are not explicitly mapped (called the default mapping). For syntax, see Command syntax. If this argument is omitted, the volume is unmapped and its LUN is set to None. (You can add or remove mappings by using map volume and unmap volume.) access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access Optional. The access permission for hosts connected to the controller for this volume: read-write (rw), read-only (ro), or no-access. When a volume is created with no access, the volume is masked. The default is read-write. lun LUN Optional if the access parameter is set to no-access. Specifies the LUN to assign to the mapping on all ports. If this parameter is omitted, the default LUN is presented. You cannot use both this parameter and the mapping parameter. ports ports Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. For syntax, see Command syntax. ovms-uid ID For a volume to be accessed by an OpenVMS host, assign a volume ID in the range 1-32767 to identify the volume to the host. name A name for the new volume. The name is case sensitive, cannot include a comma, double quote, or backslash, and can have a maximum of 20 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. Example Create the 20-GB volume V1 on 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: Command completed successfully. (V1) - The volume was created. See also • set volume • show vdisks • show volumes HP StorageWorks 2000 G2 Modular Smart Array CLI Reference Guide 47

Parameters
vdisk

Command syntax
.
size
size
[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Sets the volume size using the current base, as shown by
show cli-parameters
. The unit can be
specified as follows:
•
If base 2 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KiB
(kibibytes),
MiB
(mebibytes), or
GiB
(gibibytes)
•
If base 10 is in use:
B
(bytes),
KB
(kilobytes),
MB
(megabytes), or
GB
(gigabytes)
If no unit is specified, the unit is blocks.
mapping
ports
.
LUN
Optional. The ports and LUN to use for all hosts that are not explicitly mapped (called the default
mapping). For syntax, see
Command syntax
. If this argument is omitted, the volume is unmapped
and its LUN is set to
None
. (You can add or remove mappings by using
map volume
and
unmap
volume
.)
access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access
Optional. The access permission for hosts connected to the controller for this volume: read-write (
rw
),
read-only (
ro
), or no-access. When a volume is created with no access, the volume is masked. The
default is
read-write
.
lun
LUN
Optional if the access parameter is set to
no-access
. Specifies the LUN to assign to the mapping
on all ports. If this parameter is omitted, the default LUN is presented. You cannot use both this
parameter and the
mapping
parameter.
ports
ports
Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. For syntax, see
Command syntax
.
ovms-uid
ID
For a volume to be accessed by an OpenVMS host, assign a volume ID in the range 1–32767 to
identify the volume to the host.
name
A name for the new volume. The name is case sensitive, cannot include a comma, double quote, or
backslash, and can have a maximum of 20 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in
double quotes.
Example
Create the 20-GB volume
V1
on 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: Command completed successfully. (V1) - The volume was created.
