priority snapshots are deleted first. Snapshots that are mapped or are not leaves of a volume’s snapshot tree
are not eligible for automatic deletion.

Parameters
access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access
Optional. The access permission to use for the mapping:read-write (rw), read-only (ro), or no-
access. If no-access is specified, the volume is not mapped. The default is read-write.
baselun base-LUN
Optional. The first in a sequence of LUNs to assign to map the volumes through ports specified by the
ports parameter. If the baselun and ports parameters are omitted, the volumes are not mapped. If a
LUN to be assigned to a volume is already in use, an error message is displayed and that volume and any
subsequent volumes are not mapped.
basename base-name
A name to which a number will be appended to generate a different name for each volume. Volume names
must be unique system-wide. Input rules:
• The value is case sensitive.
• The value can have a maximum of 16 bytes.
• The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , . < \
• A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Resulting volumes are numbered sequentially starting with 0000. If volumes with the specified basename
already exist, names of new volumes start with the first available name in the sequence. For example: for
basename vd1_v, if vd1_v0000 and vd1_v0002 exist, the next volumes created will be vd1_v0001 and
vd1_v0003.
count #
The number of volumes to create, from 1 to 128. Volumes will be created up to the maximum number
supported per disk group.
large-virtual-extents enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional. For a virtual volume, this sets whether the system will try to allocate pages in a sequentially
optimized way to reduce I/O latency and improve performance.
• disabled or off: Optimized page allocation is disabled. This is the default.
• enabled or on: Optimized page allocation is enabled
pool pool
Optional; required for virtual volumes. The name or serial number of the pool in which to create the volumes.
