where:
• <stor sys pool id> - is the identifier for a storage system pool. The storage system pool
identifier can be found through several methods, such as from the
appiqlist -device -storagesystem <ssid> -pool command.

setting identifier can be found through several methods, such as from the
appiqshow -device -storagesystem <id> -pool command.
• <size in MB> - is the size of the volume in megabytes.
• <ca> - the cache reach ahead multiplier (0 to 65535 bytes). A cache read ahead multiplier
copies additional data blocks into the cache while it is reading and copying host-requested

the volume will be utilized.

<size in MB>” on page 72
• ”appiqcreate -volume <stor sys pool id> -storagesetting <storage setting id | [-default]> -size
<size in MB> -name <name>” on page 72
