HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

Virtual volumes added to a set inherit the rights of that set. For example, If a group of virtual volumes
is exported to a host and a new virtual volume is added to the virtual volume set, the new virtual
volume is visible to the host as soon as it is added to the virtual volume set. The opposite is also
true. If a virtual volume is removed from a set, all the rights of that virtual volume set are revoked
for the removed virtual volume.
A virtual volume in a virtual volume set cannot be removed from the system until it has been removed
from the virtual volume set, or until the virtual volume set is removed from the system. Removing a
virtual volume set does not remove the virtual volumes in that set. Changing the name of a virtual
volume in a set does not change the rights of the virtual volume or remove it from the virtual volume
set.
Creating Virtual Volume Sets
• To create a virtual volume set, issue the createvvset <set_name> <VV_names>
command, where:
◦ <set_name> is the name of the virtual volume set being created.
◦ <VV_names> are the names of the virtual volumes included in the virtual volume set.
For a complete list of options available for the createvvset command, see the HP 3PAR InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.
Adding Virtual Volumes to Virtual Volume Sets
• To add a virtual volume to an existing virtual volume set, issue the createvvset -add
<set_name> <VV_names> command, where:
◦ <set_name> is the name of the virtual volume set that will include the added virtual
volumes.
◦ <VV_names> are the names of the virtual volumes being added to the virtual volume set.
For a complete list of options available for the createvvset command, see the HP 3PAR InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.
Modifying Virtual Volume Sets
• To change the name of a virtual volume set, issue the setvvset <new_name> <set_name>
command, where:
◦ <new_name> is the new name of the virtual volume set.
◦ <set_name> is the name of the virtual volume set being modified.
For a complete list of options available for the setvvset command, see the HP 3PAR InForm OS
Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.
Removing Virtual Volume Sets
• To remove a virtual volume set from the system, or to remove virtual volumes from a set, issue
the removevvset <set_name> <VV_names> command, where:
◦ <set_name> is the name of the virtual volume set being removed or modified.
◦ <VV_names> are the names of the virtual volumes being removed from the <set_name>
virtual volume set. This specifier is optional and it is not required if you are removing the
entire set.
For a complete list of options available for the removevvset command, see the HP 3PAR InForm
OS Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.
