Command execution example
In this example, the DeleteVirtualVolume command deletes the virtual parity group
(arraygroupnames: X200-1) containing THP volumes from the storage system (serialnum: 15065,
model: XP24000). In addition, this command also deletes THP volumes whose assignations with THP
pools have not been released by specifying force for the deletionoption parameter.
hdvmcli DeleteVirtualVolume -o "D:\logs\DeleteVirtualVolume.log"
model=XP24000 serialnum=15065 deletionoption=force arraygroupnames=X200-1
Command execution result
RESPONSE:
(Command completed; empty list returned)
FormatLU
FormatLU formats an LU.
To check whether the LDEV was formatted properly if you omitted the wait parameter, or if you
specified false in the wait parameter, first use the AddStorageArray command to refresh the
storage system, and then execute the GetStorageArray (subtarget=LDEV) command and check
the value of status in the execution results. If you specified true in the wait parameter, simply
check the value of status in the execution results of the FormatLU command.
CAUTION:
This command erases data on the LU. If you format an LU that is being used, you cannot restore its
data.
NOTE:
This command is available only for P9500, XP24000/XP20000, and XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
The microcode version required for XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 is 50-09-00-XX/XX or later.
When formatting the LDEV, make sure that the value of the status attribute of the LDEV is
Blocked. If the value of status is Normal, specify true in the force parameter when you
format the LDEV.
If the LUSE volume you want to specify includes an LDEV whose status is not Blocked, delete
that LUSE volume, and then execute the command.
If you execute this command while LDEVs are being formatted in the target storage system, an
error occurs.
