HP P9000 RAID Manager Reference Guide (T1610-96037, October 2011)

DescriptionOption
When specifying just a number, it is recognized as a pool ID. Therefore, when you specify a
pool that the pool name is only a number, operate by specifying pool ID instead of specifying
pool name. When creating V-VOL to a pool for Snapshot, specify “snap”.
Specifies a CU:LDEV hexadecimal address double octet or an LDEV number (0-65279) or a
range.
-ldev_id <ldev#> …
For example:
• -ldev_id AB:CD
• -ldev_id 43981
• -ldev_id 01:2C-01:31
Specifies a capacity. The size can be specified for GB and LBA. When specifying GB, the unit
is g/G, m/M, or k/K. Block (512KB) is used if the specification is omitted.
- capacity <size>
When specifying GB, note the following items:
• There is no size correction.
• If the capacity of LDEVs that are created by each GUI and CLI are the same, a copy pair
might not be created. To create a pair with the LDEV that is created by GUI, create a LDEV
by specifying LBA.
Example of extension:
1GB (gigabyte) is:
-capacity 1G, -capacity 1g, -capacity 1024M, -capacity 1024m, -capacity 1048576K, -capacity
1048576k, -capacity 2097152
In case of volumes other than OPEN-V, it is required the more free space than the capacity
which is actually specified. For more details, see the P9000 Provisioning for Mainframe Systems
User Guide.
Specifies capacity. Corrects the size. The capacity can be specified in byte or block.-offset_capacity <size>
Specifies the size in cylinder unit. When specifying, the unit is g/G, m/M, or k/K. Cylinder
is used if the specification is omitted.
-cylinder <size>
Specifies a Location (the starting point of the LDEV to be created in the parity group/external
volume group). If this specification is omitted, create a LDEV and close up in the free space.
[ -location <lba> ]
Specifies an emulation type.[ -emulation
<emulation type> ]
For example:
• OPEN-V
If this specification is omitted, OPEN-V is specified.
The valid values that can be specified to <emulation type>:
OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, OPEN-V
3380-3, 3390-3, 3390-9, 3390-L, 3390-M
Specifies an MP Blade ID (0-7). If this specification is omitted, it is allocated automatically.[-mp_blade_id <mp#>
]
Examples
Creating an LDEV: 100 of size 10GB in a parity group: 33-16.
Location in the parity group: automatic allocation, LDEV Emulation type: OPEN-V
raidcom add ldev -parity_grp_id 33-16 -ldev_id 100 -capacity 10G
Creating LDEV of command devices following these items. Parity group: 33-16, The location of
the parity group: automatic allocation, Emulation type: OPEN-V, Size: 10GB (Corrected), LDEV:
110.
raidcom add ldev -parity_grp_id 33-16 -ldev_id 100 -offset_capacity 10G -command_device y
