Claim a storage volume and name it Symm1254_7BF from the clusters/cluster context:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1> storage-volume claim -name Symm1254_7BF -d
VPD83T3:60000970000192601254533030374241
Claim storage volumes using the --thin-rebuild option. In the following example:
● The claim command with --thin-rebuild claims two storage volumes as thin storage (from the clusters/
cluster/storage-elements/storage-volumes context)
● The ll command displays one of the claimed storage volumes:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes>
claim --thin-rebuild --storage-volumes
VPD83T3:6006016091c50e005057534d0c17e011,VPD83T3:6006016091c50e005257534d0c17e011
Of the 2 storage-volumes that were given, 2 storage-volumes were claimed.
