*****: The value is encoded by the CLI.
AddVirtualVolume
AddVirtualVolume creates THP volumes (virtual volumes) in a target storage system. This command
also assigns the THP volumes to be added to a target THP pool.
NOTE:
This command can be used only with P9500 and XP24000/XP20000.
If you use the poolid parameter to specify the pool ID of a THP pool, the THP volumes that are
created are assigned to that THP pool.
For P9500 or XP24000/XP20000, AddVirtualVolume can be used to create a virtual parity group
and populate it with THP volumes. For XP24000/XP20000, AddVirtualVolume can be used to
create volumes for Thin Provisioning Software in an existing virtual parity group.
For XP24000/XP20000, if no SSID is assigned to devNum of the created THP volumes, one is assigned
automatically. For details about the SSID, see the storage system documentation.
If you use this command with P9500, the virtual parity group and the virtual volumes must satisfy the
following conditions:
• When a THP pool is specified, its status must not be Blocked.
• When a THP pool is specified, the over-provisioning percent must be less than the over provisioning
limit threshold.
NOTE:
If you use this command with P9500, you cannot create more than one THP volume in a virtual parity
group.
If you use this command with XP24000/XP20000, the virtual parity group and the virtual volumes
must satisfy the following conditions:
• They must have an emulation type of OPEN-V.
• The unused capacity on the virtual volume must be larger than the capacity of the volumes for Thin
Provisioning Software.
• If you are creating virtual volumes in an existing virtual group, the CLPR number of any pool for
Thin Provisioning Software that you specify must be the same as the CLPR number of the virtual
parity group.
• When a for Thin Provisioning Software is specified, its status must not be Blocked.
• When a for Thin Provisioning Software is specified, the over-provisioning percent must be less
than the over provisioning limit threshold.
