AddLogicalUnit
AddLogicalUnit creates an LDEV and LU. With P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, you can create multiple logical units at once.
The LDEVs created by this command are formatted when they are created. However, if you are using
P9500, XP24000/XP20000, or XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, you can use the format parameter
to specify whether to format the LDEVs and also the format type.
For P9500 or XP24000/XP20000, depending on whether you specify the fsindex and
creationoption parameters, you can control LUs or create an LU by optimally using the regions
of unused capacity in a parity group (optimization of regions of unused capacity).
NOTE:
• For P9500, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, or XP1024/XP128, the capacity
of LDEV to be created will be larger than the specified capacity.
• For P9500, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, or XP1024/XP128, you cannot
create an LDEV that is the same size as the unused capacity of the parity group, because the
control area is created on the storage system side.
• For P9500, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, or XP1024/XP128, the SSID
must be set before an LDEV and LU are created. For details about the SSID, see the manual for
each storage system.
• For P9500 or XP24000/XP20000, logical units cannot be created in parity groups with chassis
numbers from 65 to 96, or from 16485 to 16516. Parity groups with chassis numbers from 65
to 96, or from 16485 to 16516 are indicated as V-VOLs.
• For XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, logical units cannot be created in parity groups with chassis
numbers from 65 to 96. Array groups with chassis numbers from 65 to 96 are indicated as V-
VOLs.
