HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager CLI Reference (T3680-96071, June 2012)

3 CLUI commands
This chapter describes the commands in the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager CLUI. Not
all commands are supported in all versions of the replication manager. To view the commands
supported in your version, enter help, and then press Enter at the command prompt.
Syntax conventions
Command syntax is the order in which you must enter the CLUI commands, switches, and switch
values. Table 3 (page 16) explains the symbols that this chapter uses to depict command syntax.
In all cases, enter only the information that is signified, not the symbol. This table supplements the
conventions described in “Typographical conventions ” (page 45).
Table 3 Syntax conventions
MeaningSymbol
Indicates required items.{ }
Indicates optional items.[ ]
Indicates a value that you define.< >
Indicates information only. For example, (gb) specifies the unit of measurement for a numeric
entry. Do not type the information within the parentheses.
( )
Separates mutually exclusive choices. Enter one of the choices.|
ADD CONTAINER
The ADD CONTAINER command reserves disk space for creating copies of virtual disks (snapshots
and snapclones). Reserving space allows you to quickly and safely create a copy because the
space for the copy is already reserved and available. You must specify the size of the container
when you create it (there is no default).
After you create the copy, it becomes another virtual disk. You can reverse the process and convert
a virtual disk to a container using the SET VDISK vdiskname change_into_container
command.
If you do not specify a disk group, the copy is created in the default disk group. If the default disk
group does not exist, an error message is generated.
