AddExternalArrayGroup
AddExternalArrayGroup performs one-to-one mapping of external volumes (volumes in an externally
connected storage system) to internal volumes, and then creates a parity group.
AddExternalArrayGroup also creates an LU in the created external parity group. When you
perform mapping, you can specify multiple paths (alternate paths).

• This command can be used only with HP XP7, P9500, and XP24000/XP20000. The microcode
