HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

When the lsmutil –import –spe command is entered, Matrix OE matches the storage pool
entries in the XML file based on the <id> element. When a matching <id> is found, the information
in the XML file is used to update the storage pool entry (for example, by adding information such
as storage controller port WWN and LUN number, and perhaps defining additional ports and
WWNs). An example XML file is shown in Example 2 “Example XML file for storage import and
export”.
Creating multiple storage pool entries
The –import –spe option can also be used to create non-catalog based storage pool entries,
providing a mechanism for bulk creation of storage pool entries by importing a variety of
pre-allocated storage volumes to be used by logical servers.
To create storage pool entries in advance, the storage administrator populates an XML file with
details about storage volumes. Entering the lsmutil –import –spe command creates
corresponding storage pool entries for the storage volumes specified in the XML file. Matrix OE
automatically assigns ID values for the newly created storage pool entries.
The storage administrator must specify the elements contained in the XSD file as defined in
Example 1 “Storage definition XSD file” into the XML file. An example XML file is shown in
Example 2 “Example XML file for storage import and export”. These elements include <name>,
<description>, <type> as SAN, <portabilityGroupName>, and so on. The number of
<sharers> must be at least 1.
