HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 (T1714-96008, June 2006)

180 Custom Volume Size operations
• Viewing VDEV and LDEV configuration information
You can view configuration information for VDEVs and LDEVs on the Customized Volume pane
(Figure 92). This pane shows an outline of group numbers, parity group numbers, RAID levels, and
VDEV numbers and a table of CU:LDEV numbers, emulation types, LDEV capacities, and path settings
of VDEVs selected in the tree.
• Viewing LDEV number setting information
You can view setting information for LDEV numbers for a CU number in a selected parity group on the
Install CV pane (2) (Figure 96), Make Volume pane (2) (Figure 101), and Volume Initialize pane (1)
(Figure 104).
In the table, gray indicates LDEV numbers that are already in use, white indicates unused LDEV
numbers, and blue indicates available LDEV numbers.
Viewing concatenated parity groups
1. From the Customized Volume pane, right-click a set of parity groups ( ) from the Parity Group - LDEV
tree. If there are concatenated parity groups, a shortcut menu appears.
NOTE: If you select a parity group icon that does not indicate concatenated parity groups ( ),
the shortcut menu does not appear.
2. Select Concatenation List. The Concatenation List dialog box appears.
3. Click OK.
Converting logical volumes to space
CAUTION: The Volume to Space function is a destructive operation. Data on the logical volumes being
converted is lost when the operation is complete. You are responsible for backing up data as needed
before performing this operation.
Use the Volume to Space function to convert one or more logical volumes (LDEVs) to space, which deletes
the selected LDEVs from that VDEV. In other words, the Volume to Space function converts one or more
selected LDEVs (FVs or CVs) in a VDEV into spaces. For more information, see ”Volume to Space function”
on page 132.
1. On the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console main pane, select a CU group from the drop-down
list.
2. From the Customized Volume pane, select the LDEV folder in the Parity Group - LDEV tree to open a list
of VDEVs.
3. In the LDEV Information table, select a VDEV to display detailed information about the LDEVs of the
selected VDEV.
4. From the CU:LDEV list, select one or more LDEVs.
NOTE: For the OPEN-V emulation type, you can also convert LUSE volumes into free space. If the
available LDEV is a LUSE volume, the emulation type appears with an asterisk and the number of
volumes in the LUSE volume (for example, OPEN-V*3) in the Emulation column of the table.
NOTE: To select two or more adjacent LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Shift key. To
select two or more discrete LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Ctrl key.
5. Right-click the selected LDEVs, and select Volume to Space. The Volume to Space Confirmation dialog
box appears.
6. If the listed volumes are correct, click OK.
