HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB581-96066, September 2011)

NOTE:
Note the following when using this command with XP24000/XP20000:
• HP recommends that you do not create more than one volume for Thin Provisioning Software in
a virtual parity group. Also, if the microcode version is 60-04-XX-XX/XX or later and the system
option 726 is set to ON, you cannot create more than one volume for Thin Provisioning Software
in a virtual parity group.
• Because a volume for Thin Provisioning Software management area is created, you cannot create
volumes for Thin Provisioning Software that have a total capacity equal to the unused capacity in
the virtual parity group.
• To create virtual volumes within an existing virtual parity group, you must have Open Volume
Management installed in the storage system.
• If you execute this command when the threshold values related to the over-provisioning percent
(the over provisioning warning threshold and over provisioning limit threshold) are set, make sure
that the Device Manager server database is consistent. These threshold values are specific thresholds
managed by the Device Manager server. If the over-provisioning percent information that has
been obtained by Device Manager does not match the actual over-provisioning percent, the system's
determination of whether the over provisioning warning threshold and over provisioning limit
threshold values have been exceeded might be incorrect.
For details about the following conditions, see the Thin Provisioning documentation:
• The minimum and maximum capacities of THP volumes
• The number of THP volumes that you can create in a single virtual parity group
• The number of THP volumes that you can assign to a single THP pool
• The number of virtual parity groups that you can create under a single disk controller

When the command is used to create a virtual parity group, and to populate the group with volumes
for Thin Provisioning Software:
hdvmcli [URL] AddVirtualVolume [options]

When the command is used to create as many virtual parity groups as the volumes for Thin Provisioning
Software to be created, and to populate each group with a volume for Thin Provisioning Software:
