HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

EXAMPLES
The following example creates a 10 G TPVV named tpvv1 whose user space is allocated from
the common provisioning group cpg1:
cli% createvv -tpvv -usr_aw 50 -usr_al 75 cpg1 tpvv1 10G
The following example creates 3 VVs vv1.2, vv1.3, vv1.4:
cli% createvv -cnt 3 cpg1 vv1.2 1g
The following example creates 2 VVs vva.0 and vva.1 which may share LDs:
cli% createvv -cnt 3 cpg1 vv1.2 1g
The following example creates a TPVV named tpvv1 with the template, temp2:
cli% createvv -tpvv -templ temp2 cpg2 tpvv1 2g
NOTES
• Using the -shared option can be more efficient when creating a large number of small
volumes since the system will attempt to share the underlying LDs. However, if volumes are
subsequently removed, this can lead to unused space in the LDs that cannot be reclaimed.
Using -cnt option without the -shared option avoids this problem, but can be inefficient
when creating small volumes due to the overhead of creating a larger number of unshared
LDs for the volumes.
• Verify the creation of VV by issuing the showvv command. See “showvv” (page 497) for more
information.
• The maximum VV size is 16 Terabytes.
• For this command:
• MB = 1048576 bytes
• GB = 1024 MB
• TB = 1024 GB
