CLI Guide

Virtual-volumes and LUN-virtual-volume pairs can be specified in the same command line. For example:
r0_1_101_vol,(2,r0_1_102_vol),r0_1_103_vol
To modify the LUN assigned to a virtual volume, specify a virtual volume that is already added to the storage view and provide a
new LUN.
NOTE: You cannot add a virtual volume to a storage view if the initialization status of the virtual volume is failed or
in-progress.
Example
Add a virtual volume Symm1254_7BF_1_vol to the storage view E_209_view:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports> storage-view addvirtualvolume --view E_209_view --
virtual-volumes Symm1254_7BF_1_vol
Modify the LUN assigned to a virtual volume already added to a view:
● The ll command in storage view context displays the LUN (0) assigned to a storage volume.
● The export storage-view addvirtualvolume (LUN,Virtual-volume) --force command assigns a new LUN to the
virtual volume.
● The ll command in storage view context displays the new LUN assigned to a storage volume:
VPlexcli:/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views/TestStorageView> ll

Add a virtual volume to a view using the --force option from the root context:
VPlexcli:/> export storage-view addvirtualvolume --view /clusters/Saul1/exports/storage-
views/TestStorageView --virtual-volumes dr710_20_C1Win_0038_12_vol --force
Volume {1} is synchronous and on a non-local device. Applications using this volume
may experience per I/O inter-cluster latency. If the applications are sensitive to this
latency, they may experience data unavailability. Do you wish to proceed ? (Yes/No)
