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).
NOTE:
• This command can be used only with P9500 and XP24000/XP20000. The microcode version
required for XP24000/XP20000 is 60-02-40-XX/XX or later.
• Before you can execute this command, both the storage system in which to create an external
parity group and the externally connected storage system must be registered as management
targets of Device Manager.
