create volume Description Creates a volume in a vdisk. You must specify a size for the volume. You can create the volume unmapped or set its default mapping. Default mapping settings apply to all hosts, unless overridden by an explicit mapping between a host and the volume. You can later change the mapping by using the map volume and unmap volume commands. By default, this command will not map the created volume. 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] [snap-pool snap-pool] [reserve size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]] [snappable] [prepare-replication-volume] [ovms-uid ID] name Parameters vdisk vdisk Name or serial number of the vdisk to create the volume in. For vdisk syntax, see Command syntax on page 21. size size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB] Sets the volume size using the current base, as shown by the show cli-parameters command. 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 512-byte blocks. mapping ports.LUN Deprecated; use the ports and lun parameters. 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. If no-access is specified, the volume is not mapped. 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. ports ports Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. In a combo system, select either FC or iSCSI ports, not both. For port syntax, see Command syntax on page 21. 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 on page 21. 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 the minimum snap-pool size, whichever is larger. Use either this parameter or the snap-pool parameter.

create volume

Description

Creates a volume in a vdisk. You must specify a size for the volume. You can create the volume

unmapped or set its default mapping. Default mapping settings apply to all hosts, unless overridden

by an explicit mapping between a host and the volume. You can later change the mapping by using

the

map volume

and

unmap volume

commands.

By default, this command will not map the created volume.

size

[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]

Sets the volume size using the current base, as shown by the

show cli-parameters

command. The unit

can be specified as follows:

•

If base 2 is in use:

(bytes),

KiB

(kibibytes),

MiB

(mebibytes), or

GiB

(gibibytes)

•

If base 10 is in use:

(bytes),

(kilobytes),

(megabytes), or

(gigabytes)

If no unit is specified, the unit is 512-byte blocks.

Deprecated; use the

ports

and

parameters.

access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access

Optional. The access permission for hosts connected to the controller for this volume: read-write (

read-only (

), or no-access. If

no-access

is specified, the volume is not mapped. 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.

ports

Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. In a combo system, select either

FC or iSCSI ports, not both. For port syntax, see

Command syntax

on page 21. If this parameter is

omitted, all ports are selected.

snap-pool

Optional. Name or serial number of the snap pool to associate with the new volume. For volume

syntax, see

Command syntax

on page 21.

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 the minimum snap-pool size, whichever is larger. Use either this

parameter or the

snap-pool

parameter.
