HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition CLI Reference Guide (TK981-96006, May 2014)

NOTE:
• This command can be used only with HP XP7 and P9500 (with a microcode version of 70-05-
04-XX/XX or later).
• If the virtual LDEV is a pool volume, all pool volumes that belong to the pool ID must belong to
the same virtual resource group. If the virtual LDEV to be specified is a pool volume, specify all
the pool volumes that have the same pool ID.
• If the virtual LDEV is a journal volume, for the registration destination, specify a virtual resource
group that belong to the default virtual storage machine. In addition, all journal volumes that belong
to the journal group must belong to the same virtual resource group. If the virtual LDEV to be
specified is a journal volume, specify all the journal volumes that have the same journal group.
• To add multiple virtual LDEVs, use the batch function. For details about the batch function, see
Chapter 6 on page 503.
For HP XP7 storage systems, you can specify the vldevoperation parameter to add a virtual LDEV
without a virtual device number or virtual information.
