Virtual Domains, CPGs, and Virtual Volumes

InForm OS Version 2.3.1 3PAR InForm CLI Administrator’s Manual

7.20 Virtual Domains, CPGs, and Virtual Volumes

You can use the CLI to create and manage virtual volumes belonging to domains just as you

would manage virtual volumes that do not use 3PAR Virtual Domains.

7.20.1 Creating a Common Provisioning Group in a Domain

If you are using 3PAR Virtual Domains, you can create domain-specific CPGs which are

accessible by only those users with privileges to that domain. You must be a super or edit level

user in the

all domain in order to create a domain CPG. For information about CPGs and 3PAR

Virtual Domains, refer to the InForm OS Concepts Guide.

 To create a CPG within a domain, issue the createcpg -domain <domain_name> -aw

<CPG_name>

command, where:

◆ <domain_name> is the domain in which you are creating the CPG.

◆ -aw <percent> is the percentage of used snapshot space and administration space

which will generate a warning alert. If 0 (default) is specified, alert generation is

disabled.

◆ -sdgs <size> is the amount of logical disk storage created during each autogrow

operation. Refer to Table 7-1 on page 7.4 for the minimum default growth sizes per

number of nodes.

◆ -sdgl <size> is the growth limit which cannot be exceeded during autogrow

operations. If 0 (default) is specified, no limit is enforced.

◆ -sdgw <size> is the space limit for logical disk space before a warning alert is

generated. If 0 (default) is specified, no warning limit it enforced.

◆ -t <RAID_type> is the RAID type, specified as r0 (RAID 0), r1 (RAID 1), r5 (RAID 5),

r6 (RAID MP).

◆ <CPG_name> is the name of the CPG being created.

NOTE: 3PAR Virtual Domains requires the use of the 3PAR Virtual Domains

license. Contact your 3PAR sales representative for details.
