Using LSMUTIL with logical server storage
The LSMUTIL command line interface can be used to:
• Modify storage information to create multiple storage pool entries without using the logical
server storage screens in Virtualization Manager (see “Creating multiple storage pool entries”)
• Facilitate communication between the server administrator who defines storage pool entries,
and the storage administrator who creates, presents, and zones storage (see “Easing
communication between server and storage administrators”)
• Request initiator WWNs for storage preallocation “Requesting initiator WWNs for storage
preallocation”)
• Modify server information to include details about local disks (see “Modifying physical
servers with local disk information”)
Table 7-2 LSMUTIL storage options
PurposeLSMUTIL option
Export storage pool entries into an XML file, which can be modified and
then imported
--exportSPE
• Import modified storage pool entries from an XML file
• Create multiple storage pool entries by importing pre-allocated storage
volumes from an XML file
--importSPE
Preallocate initiator WWNs for a Virtual Connect Domain Group. An
automatically allocated initiator WWN in a storage pool entry can be replaced
with a preallocated WWN, for which appropriate zoning and storage
presentation has already been done
--reserveWWNs
