create volume
Description
Creates a volume on a virtual disk. This command enables you to specify a size and
name for the volume, and map it to hosts.
Input
create volume vdisk vdisk size sizeMB|GB|TB [mapping mapping] name
Parameter Description
vdisk vdisk Specifies the virtual disk by name or serial number. For the
syntax to use, see “Virtual Disk Syntax” on page 26.
size sizeMB|GB|TB Specifies the volume size in MB (Mbyte), GB (Gbyte), or
TB (Tbyte). The size uses base 10 (multiples of 1000) or
base 2 (multiples of 1024); to see the current base setting,
type show cli-parameters.
mapping mapping Optional. Specifies the host-to-volume mapping to use for
all hosts that are not explicitly mapped (called the default
mapping). For the syntax to use, see “Volume Mapping
Syntax” on page 27. If this argument is omitted, the
volume is unmapped and its LUN is set to None. (You can
add or remove mappings by using the map volume and
unmap volume commands.)
name Specifies a name for the volume. For the syntax to use, see
“Volume Syntax” on page 26.
