Switches
The following switch is associated with the CREATE_PARTITION command:
■ SIZE
SIZE=percent
SIZE=LARGEST
Specifies the size of the partition to be created as a percentage of the total
container storageset size:
■ Specify SIZE=percent to create a partition on the specified container
that is a percentage of the container’s total capacity. Up to eight partitions
can be created on any one container.
Note: The resulting partition is slightly smaller than the size specified because
metadata also occupies some of the space allocated to the partition.
■ Specify SIZE=LARGEST to:
— Have the controller create the largest partition possible from unused
space on the disk or storageset.
— Create the last partition on a container. Because the remaining space
is not equal to an exact percentage value, specifying
SIZE=LARGEST allows you to optimize use of the remaining space.
Example
To create a RAIDset named RAID9, divide it into four equal parts, and create
host-addressable units for each partition, enter:
ADD RAIDSETS RAID9 DISK10000 DISK20100 DISK30200
INITIALIZE RAID9
CREATE_PARTITION RAID9 SIZE=25
CREATE_PARTITION RAID9 SIZE=25
CREATE_PARTITION RAID9 SIZE=25
CREATE_PARTITION RAID9 SIZE=LARGEST
ADD UNITS D101 RAID9 PARTITION=1
ADD UNITS D102 RAID9 PARTITION=2
ADD UNITS D103 RAID9 PARTITION=3
ADD UNITS D104 RAID9 PARTITION=4
