CLI Command Descriptions
117HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller Software
Command Line Interface Reference Guide
Divides a non-transportable disk drive or storageset into several separately
addressable storage units. The command marks a specified percentage of a disk
drive or storageset to be used as a separately addressable unit—a partition. Any
non-transportable disk or storageset can be divided into a maximum of eight
partitions, then each partition can be separately presented to the host.
Initialize all disks and storagesets before creating or destroying partitions.
Caution: Issuing an INITIALIZE command on either disks or storagesets
destroys any existing partitions without warning.
Syntax
CREATE_PARTITION container-name SIZE=percent
Parameters
The following parameter supports the CREATE_PARTITION command:
container-name
Identifies the disk or storageset to partition. This is the same name given to
the disk or storageset at the time it was created with the ADD command (for
example, ADD DISKS, ADD STRIPESETS, and so forth). Any disk,
stripeset, mirrorset, striped mirrorset, or RAIDset can be partitioned. A
transportable disk cannot be partitioned. You must initialize the container
before creating the first partition.
