Examples
These examples show host volume mount points. Device names can also be used. The required
replication step that precedes the host volume creation step is marked with asterisks (**).

Comments
• Associated validation commands. ValidateHost, ValidateHostVolume.
• Agent and license prerequisites. Requires a host agent.
• Command result value. Host volume name (UNC). For a complete list, see Command result
values.
• OS specifics. Yes. See examples above.
Windows. Creating the host volume on the same host as the original may produce undesirable
results. Windows writes a signature to the disks and the same signature will be on both the source
and the new copy.
• The command essentially performs the just the final low level operations that are part of the
CreateHostVolume command. See CreateHostVolume.
• The storage structure of the source host volume is reconstructed on the target host. The new
host volume is not mounted.
• To mount the host volume, use the MountHostVolume command.
• See Resource names and UNC formats.
CreateHostVolumeGroup
Creates a new host volume-group (VG) by presenting replicated storage to an enabled host. The
replicated storage must be created in a prior host volume-group replication step in the same job.
Syntax and arguments
When initially inserted into a job, the command syntax and default arguments are:
CreateHostVolumeGroup ( %source_vg_name%, %storvol_snap_list%, %target_host%, HOST_FC_PORT)
Source UNC Host Volume Group (%source_vg_name%). Select or enter the UNC name of a host
volume-group that has been previously replicated within the job.
