In the GUI or the CLI, this issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
• Virtualize Volumes dialog box
Capacity of selected volume from which the dialog box is launched is greater than 4,194,304
MB (4.0 TB), or a capacity that is greater than 4,194,304 MB (4.0 TB) is specified in the
dialog box that is launched with selecting no volumes.
◦
◦ An XP P9500 is selected for internal storage system.
• CLI AddExternalArrayGroup command
XP P9500 is specified for the model parameter.◦
◦ create is specified for the luoption parameter.
◦ Volume capacity of external storage system specified for the externallun parameter is
greater than 4,294,967,296 KB (4.0 TB).
◦ The capacity parameter is omitted or is specified for a volume capacity that is greater than
4,294,967,296 KB (4.0 TB).
If this occurs, virtualize a volume using Element Manager.
Specifying volume capacity by the number of blocks in the Allocate Volumes dialog
box, the Create Volumes dialog box, or the Create Pool dialog box
If you specify an odd-numbered block size capacity in the Allocate Volumes dialog box, the Create
Volumes dialog box, or the Create Pool dialog box of the Device Manager GUI, volumes cannot be
allocated or created and the message "Input even number for block" appears. This is
functioning as specified. To create an odd-numbered block size, use the CLI AddLogicalUnit
command or AddVirtualVolume command.
Extraction with volume capacity when allocating volumes
In the Allocate Volumes dialog box or Allocate Like Volumes dialog box, when the extraction condition
for the volume capacity is specified even if a volume whose condition meets the condition exists in
storage systems, the candidate volume may not be extracted with the following message:
The capacity value is outside the valid range. Specify a value from
"<minimum capacity>" to "<maximum capacity>"
(KAIC15294-E)
This symptom occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
• XP P9500, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, or XP1024/XP128 is selected in
the Storage system box.
• Basic Volume is selected in the Volume type box.
• A capacity that is greater than 3,145,663.75 MB (approximately 2.99 TB) is specified in the
Volume Capacity text box.
If this occurs, select a target volume and then allocate it to a host.
