-hpc <heads_per_cylinder>
Defines the VV geometry heads per cylinder value that is reported to the hosts though the
SCSI mode pages. The valid range is between 1 to 1024 and the default value is 8.
-exp <time>[d|D|h|H]
Specifies the relative time from the current time that volume will expire. <time> is a
positive integer value and in the range of 1 - 43,800 hours (1,825 days). Time can be
optionally specified in days or hours providing either
d or D for day and h or H for hours
following the entered time value.
-comment <comment>
Specifies any additional information up to 511 characters for the volume.
-f
Do not ask for confirmation before creating a volume with retention time (-retain).
-retain <time>[d|D|h|H]
Specifies the amount of time, relative to the current time, that the volume will be retained.
<time> is a positive integer value and in the range of 1 - 43,800 hours (1,825 days). Time
can be optionally specified in days or hours providing either
d or D for day and h or H for
hours following the entered time value.
NOTE: If the volume is not in any domain, then its retention time cannot exceed
the value of the system's
VVRetentionTimeMax. The default value for the
system's
VVRetentionTimeMax is 14 days. If the volume belongs to a domain,
then its retention time cannot exceed the value of the domain's
VVRetentionTimeMax, if set. The retention time cannot be removed or reduced
once it is set. If the volume has its retention time set, it cannot be removed within
its retention time. If both expiration time and retention time are specified, then
the retention time cannot be longer than the expiration time. This option
requires the 3PAR Virtual Lock License. Contact your local 3PAR Authorized
Service Provider for more information.
