For each VLUN created, the .int suffix of the VV_name specifier and LUN are incremented by

one.

–novcn

Specifies that a VLUN Change Notification (VCN) not be issued after export. For direct connect

or loop configurations, a VCN consists of a Fibre Channel Loop Initialization Primitive (LIP). For

fabric configurations, a VCN consists of a Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) that is

sent to the fabric controller.

–ovrd

Specifies that existing lower priority VLUNs will be overridden, if necessary. Can only be used

when exporting to a specific host.

SPECIFIERS

<VV_name | VV_set>

Specifies the VV name or VV set name, using up to 31 characters in length. The volume name is

provided in the syntax of basename.int. The VV_set name must start with set:.

<LUN>

Specifies the LUN as an integer from 0 through 16383. Alternatively <n>+ can be used to indicate

a LUN should be auto assigned, but be a minimum of n, or n-m to indicate that a LUN should be

chosen in the range n to m. In addition the keyword auto may be used and is treated as 0+.

<host_name>

Specifies the host where the LUN is exported, using up to 31 characters.

<host_set>

Specifies the host set where the LUN is exported, using up to 31 characters.

<node:slot:port>

Specifies the system port of the virtual LUN export.

node

Specifies the system port, where the node is a number between 0 and 7.

slot

Specifies the PCI bus slot in the node, where the slot is a number between 0 and 5.

port

RESTRICTIONS

None

EXAMPLES

The following example exports VV test on LUN 2:

cli% createvlun test 2 testhost

NOTES

• If a volume is already exported as a VLUN, you will be prompted for confirmation if a new

export of the same volume is attempted.

• The host and port can both be supplied when issuing this command (matched set). This is the

most restrictive access as both the host name and port must match before access to the VLUN

is granted.
