HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.3.1-00 CLI Reference Guide

DescriptionStatusParameter name
Index number of the region of unused capacity to be used for
creating an LU
Specify the index number of a region of unused capacity in a
parity group.
If you specify this parameter, also specify the creationoption
parameter.
If you omit this parameter, the regions of unused capacity that
are used are determined as follows:
• If you specify bulk for creationoption, all regions of un-
used capacity are used.
You cannot create an LU across multiple regions of unused
capacity. Therefore, if you specify an LU capacity (capacity)
and the number of LUs (numoflus) to be created, and there
are not enough regions of unused capacity whose capacity
is greater than or equal to the specified LU capacity, an error
occurs.
• If you specify dividebycap or dividebynum for creation-
option, the largest of all the regions of unused capacity is
used.

fsindex
#
LU creation method
Specify a creation method for creating multiple LUs at once.
One of the following values can be specified:
• bulk: Creates LUs by specifying their capacity and number.
If you specify bulk, also specify capacity and numoflus.
• dividebynum: Creates LUs by specifying their number.
If you specify dividebynum, also specify numoflus but do
not specify capacity.
• dividebycap: Creates LUs by specifying their capacity.
If you specify dividebycap, also specify capacity but do
not specify numoflus.
If you omit this parameter, also specify capacity but do not
specify fsindex or numoflus.

creationop-
tion
#
Capacity of the LUs to be created
This parameter must be specified if the creationoption
parameter is not specified, or if bulk or dividebycap is
specified for the creationoption parameter.
This parameter cannot be specified if dividebynum is specified
for the creationoption parameter.
Desired capacity (in KB) for the new LU.
The specified value is adjusted, depending on the minimum unit
that is set to the volume size of each storage system. Therefore,
the size of the logical unit that was actually created might exceed
the specified value.
For XP24000/XP20000 and XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 only,
you can use the capacitytype parameter to change the unit
of capacity to blocks.
