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

184 Custom Volume Size operations
NOTE: If the selected VDEV contains one or more CVs that violate any restriction for the Volume
Initialize operations (see ”Volume Manager guidelines” on page 128), you cannot perform
Volume Initialize operations. Remove all invalid CVs before performing Volume Initialize
operation.
3. Right-click any part of the Parity Group - LDEV tree, and select Volume Initialize. The Volume Initialize
pane (1) appears.
4. On the Volume Initialize pane (1):
a. Select one or more CVS volume numbers.
b. In the Select CU No. list, select a CU number.
c. In the Select LDEV Number table, select an LDEV number from the white LDEV numbers. The CU
and LDEV number appear in the CU:LDEV field.
NOTE: If an LDEV number ends with # (for example, 00:01#), the LDEV is an external LU. For
more information about external LUs, see the HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide.
d. To change a CU:LDEV number that is already assigned, select one or more volume numbers
corresponding to the CU:LDEV numbers you want to remove, right-click, and select Clear.
5. After setting all CU and LDEV numbers, click Next.
If the selected LDEV number’s boundary area does not have an SSID, the SSID setting pane appears.
Go to step 8. If the selected LDEV number’s boundary area has an SSID, go to step 10.
6. On the SSID setting pane, select the CU number.
7. In the Input SSID list, select a new SSID.
NOTE: When you log in as a storage administrator and the SSID number of another SLPR is used
check box is selected, you can also enter an SSID in the Input SSID list.
8. Click Set. The SSID appears in the SSID field of the SSID setting area.
9. To set two or more SSIDs, repeat step 6 through step 8.
10.After setting all SSIDs, click Next. The Volume Initialize confirmation pane appears.
11.Verify that the information in the Volume Initialize confirmation pane is correct, and click OK.
A notation appears across the top of the pane indicating the volume has been initialized. The color of
the VDEV icon you manipulated in the Parity Group - LDEV tree changes from red to blue.
NOTE: Setting changes are not yet implemented in the array. You cannot manipulate VDEVs
denoted by blue icons until you either apply the changes to the array or cancel them, but you can
initialize additional CVS volumes in VDEVs denoted by red icons.
12.To apply changes to the array, click Apply (or Cancel to cancel them).
NOTE: If desired, you can make settings on the Make Volume function (see ”Re-creating CVs after
initializing the VDEV (Make Volume operation)” on page 185) before clicking Apply. If you click
Apply after making settings on the Volume Initialize and Make Volume functions, settings on these
functions are applied simultaneously to the array.
13.Click OK.
