sales representative for details.

Creating a Common Provisioning Group in a Domain

If you are using virtual domains, you can create domain-specific CPGs which are accessible by

only those users with rights to that domain. You must be a Super or Edit user in the all domain

in order to create a domain CPG. For information about CPGs and virtual domains, refer to the

HP 3PAR 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 8 (page 81) 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), or r6 (RAID MP).

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

All arguments are identical to those specified in “Creating a Common Provisioning Group”

(page 83). For a complete list of options available for the createcpg command, see the HP

3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.

Creating Virtual Volumes in a Virtual Domain

If you are using virtual domains, you can create domain-specific virtual volumes which are accessible

only by those users with rights to that domain. You must have Super or Edit rights in the domain

in which you are creating the virtual volume. Virtual volumes are created by allocating resources

from CPGs within a domain. A CPG must exist in the domain in which you wish to create a virtual

volume before you can create a domain-specific virtual volume.
