HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

–fc_gt <number>
Specifies that physical disks with free chunklets greater than the number specified be selected.
–fc_lt <number>
Specifies that physical disks with free chunklets less than the number specified be selected.
–devid <model>
Specifies that PDs identified by their models are selected. Models can be specified in a
comma-separated list. Models can be displayed by issuing the showpd -i command.
–devtype <type>
Specifies that physical disks must have the specified device type (FC for Fibre Channel, NL for
nearline, or SSD for solid state drive) to be used. Device types can be displayed by issuing the
showpd command. If it is not specified, the default device type is FC.
-rpm <number>
Disks must be of the specified speed. Device speeds are shown in the RPM column of the showpd
command. The number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without spinning media
(SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance difference between the drive and the
other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the number corresponds to both a performance
measure and actual rotational speed. For SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative
performance benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second, bandwidth and the access
time.
Disks that satisfy all of the specified characteristics are used. For example, -p -fc_gt 60
-fc_lt 230 -nd 2 specifies all the disks that have greater than 60 and less than 230 free
chunklets and that are connected to node 2 through their primary path.
SPECIFIERS
<CPG_name>
Specifies the name of the common provisioning group being created.
RESTRICTIONS
Access to all domains is required to run this command.
EXAMPLES
The following example displays the creation of common provisioning group cpg1, whose logical
disk storage is set to autogrow at 16 GB, has a growth limit of 32 GB, and receives a growth
warning at 24 GB:
cli% createcpg -sdgs 16g -sdgl 32g -sdgw 24g cpg1
The following example displays disks that satisfy all of the specified characteristics used. The
example specifies all the disks that have greater than 60 and less than 230 free chunklets and that
are connected to node 2 through their primary path.
cli% createcpg –p –fc_gt 60 –fc_lt 230 –nd 2
The following example specifies that all disks in cages 1 and 2 or magazine 4 of each cage will
be used in the CPG.
cli% createcpg -p -cg 1-2 -p -mg 4 cpg3
