The name of an existing volume group.
● The value is case sensitive.
● The value can have a maximum of 32 bytes.
● The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , . < \
● A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Examples Create a volume group named VGroup1 that includes hosts Vol0001 and Vol0002.

Description
Creates a specified number of volumes in a linear disk group or virtual pool.
You must specify a base name and a size for the volumes. You can create the volumes unmapped or
set their default mapping. Default mapping settings apply to all hosts, unless overridden by an explicit
mapping between a host and the volume. You can later change mappings by using the map volume
and unmap volume commands. By default, this command will not map the created volumes.
CAUTION: Using a default mapping for a volume will allow multiple hosts to access the
volume. To avoid multiple hosts mounting the volume and causing corruption, the hosts
must be cooperatively managed, such as by using cluster software.
Volume sizes are aligned to 4.2 MB (4 MiB) boundaries. When a volume is created or expanded, if the
resulting size would be less than 4.2 MB it will be increased to 4.2 MB; if the resulting size would be
greater than 4.2 MB it will be decreased to the nearest 4.2 MB boundary.
For virtual storage, you can set the retention priority for snapshots of the volume. If automatic
deletion of snapshots is enabled, the system uses the retention priority of snapshots to determine
which, if any, snapshots to delete. Snapshots are considered to be eligible for deletion if they have
any retention priority other than never-delete. Eligible snapshots are considered for deletion by
priority and age. The oldest, lowest priority snapshots are deleted first. Snapshots that are mapped or
are not leaves of a volume’s snapshot tree are not eligible for automatic deletion.
