Reference Guide

Species the index of an existing volume folder in which to create the volume.
–h
Shows help for command options.
–localport string
Species the WWN of the single local port to use for mapping when the –singlepath option is specied. Use this option with the –
localport and –remoteport options to set the single port to use. (The –localport option is deprecated on Storage Center 5.0 and later.)
–lun integer
Species the logical unit number (LUN) for the mapped volume. The –boot and –lun options are mutually exclusive. If neither –boot nor –
lun option is specied, the next available LUN is automatically assigned (Storage Center 5.0 and later).Dell EMC recommends that you
allow LUNs to be automatically assigned to avoid issues with operating Storage Centers that require sequential LUN ordering.
–maxwrite integer [k|m|g|t]
Species the maximum size for volume writes. This value must be less than or equal to the volume size. By default, no limit is set for
volume writes. Enter the number of 512-byte blocks or the total byte size. To specify a total byte size, use m for megabytes, g for
gigabytes, or t for terabytes. For example, enter 32m to specify a block size of 32 MB.
–name string
Species the volume name. This option is required.
–notes string
Species notes for the volume. By default, no notes are included.
–pagesize integer [k|m]
Species the pagesize to use for the volume. If you specify a page size that does not exist on the Storage Center, the command terminates
without creating the volume.
–readcache {true|false}
Enables or disables volume read cache. The default is false.
–redundancy integer
Sets volume storage type. Available options are:
• 0: Non-redundant
• 1: Redundant
• 2: Dual-redundant
The default is 1 (redundant). If you specify a storage type that has not been primed on the Storage Center, the command terminates
without creating the volume. For information on storage types, see the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
–remoteport string
Species the world wide name (WWN) of the remote port for mapping the volume.
–replayprofile string,…,string
Species one or more Replay proles for the volume. Separate a series of Replay prole names with commas (,). If you specify an invalid
Replay prole, the command returns an error and the volume is created without a Replay prole.
–server string
Species the server for the volume. This is the server to which the volume or volume view will be mapped. See Mapping a Volume.
–serverindex integer
Species the server index for the volume. This is the server to which the volume or volume view will be mapped. See Mapping a Volume.
–singlepath
Indicates that only a single port can be used for mapping. If omitted, all local ports are used for mapping. Use the –localport option to set
the single port to use. See Mapping a Volume. ( The –localport option is deprecated on Storage Center 5.0 and later.)
–size integer [k|m|g|t]
80
