Arguments
Required arguments
[-d|--storage-volumes] storage-
volume,storage-volume ...
* Names of one or more claimed storage volumes to extent. Entries must be
separated by commas.
* - argument is positional.
Description
An extent is a slice (range of 4K byte blocks) of a storage volume. An extent is only allowed to use the entire capacity of the
storage volume.
Extents are the building blocks for devices.
This command can fail if there is not a sufficient number of meta volume slots. See the troubleshooting section of the metro
node procedures in the SolVe Desktop for a resolution to this problem.
Examples
In the following example:
● The ll -p **/storage-volumes command displays a list of all storage volumes.
● The cd command changes the context to the storage-volume context on cluster-1.
● The extent create command creates an extent from two claimed 16 GB storage volumes.
VPlexcli:/> ll -p **/storage-volumes
VPlexcli:/>cd /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes> extent create
