Selecting a VPU (optional)
CLI Storage-Management Guide 8-21
The namespace software uses the following rules for assigning a volume to a VPU:
First volume in the namespace
a. Choose an empty VPU.
b. Choose a VPU that is supporting only one namespace.
c. Fail if all VPUs have two namespaces already.
Second volume in the namespace
a. Choose the least-subscribed VPU that is different from the first.
b. Choose the same VPU as the first volume.
c. Fail if all VPUs have 64 volumes already.
Third and subsequent volumes in the namespace
a. Choose a VPU that supports volume 1 or 2; choose the one with the least
total volumes.
b. Fail if all VPUs have 64 volumes already.
A failure prevents you from enabling the volume.
