Creating initial custom volumes for OPEN-V (Make Volume)
Use the Make Volume function to clear all custom volumes under a CVS volume and create an initial
volume (VDEV) that consists of new user-defined custom volumes.
CAUTION: The Make Volume function is a destructive operation and destroys the data on selected
custom volumes. Back up the data as needed before performing this operation.

of CUs, and then select a VDEV. The Parity Group - LDEV table displays information of LDEVs in the
selected VDEV.
NOTE: If the selected VDEV contains one or more custom volumes that violates any restriction for
the Make Volume function (see ”Volume to Space operation” on page 57), you cannot perform the
Make Volume function. Remove all invalid custom volumes before performing the Make Volume
function.
