Required arguments

[, context path...]
* Specifies the virtual volumes for which the thin-enabled property must be
set.

[-h|--help]

Description
This command sets the thin-enabled property to either true or false for the given virtual volumes. Virtual volumes can be
specified as a parameter, using globbing or wildcards.
The virtual-volume set-thin-enabled command does not fail even if virtual volumes are not thin-capable. Virtual
volumes that are not thin-capable are skipped. For brevity of the user messages, the regular output of this command only
includes:
● the number of volumes that are set as thin-enabled (or not set)
● the number of volumes that are skipped
If you want detailed output showing exactly which volumes are set as thin-enabled or skipped, use the --verbose option.
However, the output can be very long.
Example
Displays all the virtual volumes that are set as thin-enabled, or are skipped.
VPlexcli:/> virtual-volume set-thin-enabled true --virtual-volumes /clusters/
cluster-1/** --verbose
Virtual-volumes that were set thin-enabled:
thin_vol_1, thin_vol_2
Virtual-volumes that were skipped because they are either already thin-enabled or not
thin-capable:
thick_vol_1, thick_vol_2
VPlexcli:/>
