CLI Guide

Description
Adds the specified virtual volume to a consistency group. The properties of the consistency group immediately apply to the
added volume.
NOTE: Only volumes with visibility and storage-at-cluster properties which match those of the consistency
group can be added to the consistency group.
Additionally, you cannot add a virtual volume to a consistency group if the initialization status of the virtual volume is
failed or in-progress.
Maximum # of volumes in a consistency group: 1000
All volumes used by the same application and/or same host should be grouped together in a consistency group.
If any of the specified volumes are already in the consistency group, the command skips those volumes, but prints a warning
message for each one.
Examples
Add multiple volumes using a single command. Separate virtual volume by commas:
In the following example:
● The cd command changes the context to the target consistency group.
● The consistency-group list-eligible-virtual-volumes command displays virtual volumes that are eligible to
be added to the consistency group.
● The consistency-group add-virtual-volumes command adds the specified virtual volume to the consistency
group.
● The ls command in displays the change:
