SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

Wild-card characters are not supported.
SENDTO STORAGE
directs the command to the storage subsystem.
PRIMARYCLIM clim-name
is the name of the one CLIM that is connected to the disk.
PRIMARYLUN lun
specifies the logical unit number (LUN) on the PRIMARYCLIM.
BACKUPCLIM backup-clim-name
is the name of the other CLIM that is connected to the disk. BACKUPCLIM must be specified.
BACKUPLUN backup-lun
specifies the logical unit number (LUN) on the BACKUPCLIM. This attribute is optional. If
BACKUPLUN is not specified, the value of PRIMARYLUN is used as the BACKUPLUN.
LIKE ( clim-name, lun )
identifies another physical disk whose partition configuration is copied to the physical disk
specified by the PRIMARYCLIM and PRIMARYLUN. When you use the LIKE attribute, you do
not use the PARTITIONSIZE, PARTITIONCOUNT and STARTPARTITION attributes.
CAUTION: The LIKE attribute will destroy all data in the physical disk specified by the
PRIMARYCLIM and PRIMARYLUN.
STARTPARTITION partition-number
is the next available partition to be added.
PARTITIONSIZE ( partition-size-1, … partition-size-8 ) | PARTITIONSIZE
partition-size
specifies a list of partition sizes.
PARTITIONCOUNT partition-count
the number of partitions of the same size. Only one partition size can be specified.
FORCED
if this is the first partition being created (i.e. STARTPARTITION number is 1), SCF issues a
warning that any existing data on the disk will be lost and prompts for confirmation. A FORCED
option displays the warning but bypasses the prompt for confirmation.
ADD PARTITION Considerations
• You must specify the physical disk location (such as primary and backup CLIM names and
LUNs), along with a partition size that is a multiple of 1 GB.
• To convert an unpartitioned disk to a partitioned disk, you must first delete any NonStop disk
LDEV paths that might be configured to that disk. You can then add partitions to the disk.
NOTE: All data on an unpartitioned disk is lost when a partition is added to the disk.
• Adding the first partition to an unpartitioned disk partitions the disk and removes any existing
data. If the disk was previously partitioned, an added partition is allocated at the start of the
unused space, shrinking the unused space by the size of the partition that was just added.
Any remaining disk space is marked as unused space.
• If the unused space cannot accommodate the partition size, the add is rejected with an error.
• Partition numbers are automatically assigned by the Storage CLIM. You can obtain the partition
number by using the “INFO PARTITION Command” (page 256) to display the disk partition
information.
