HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

Creating a Common Provisioning Group
• To create a CPG, issue the createcpg -aw <percent> -sdgs <size> -sdgl <size>
-sdgw <size> -t <RAID_type> <CPG_name> command, where:
◦ -aw <percent> is the percentage of used snapshot space and administration space
that 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 8 (page 81) for the minimum default growth sizes per number
of nodes.
◦ -sdgl 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 is enforced.
◦ -t <RAID_type> is the RAID type, specified as r0 (RAID 0), r1 (RAID 1), r5 (RAID
5), or r6 (RAID MP).
◦ <CPG_name> is the name of the CPG being created.
