HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition CLI Reference Guide (TK981-96006, May 2014)

DescriptionStatusParameter name
Unit for the value to be specified in the capacity parameter
The values you can specify are KB or block.
If this parameter is omitted, KB is set as the unit.
This parameter cannot be specified if none is specified in the
luoption parameter or if the luoption parameter is omitted.
Optional
capacitytype
Parameter values to obtain in advance
serialnum and model
Obtain these values from the execution result of the GetStorageArray command. For the
storage system where you want to create an external parity group, specify either an arrayType
value or a displayArrayType value for the model parameter. Use the serialNumber value
to specify the serialnum parameter.
portname
Obtain this value from the execution result of the GetStorageArray (subtarget=Port)
command executed on the storage system where you want to create an external parity group.
Then, for the portname parameter, specify the displayName value of the port whose portRole
value is External. At this time, record the worldWidePortName value.
externalwwn
For external storage systems other than SMI-S enabled storage systems, obtain this value from
the execution results of the GetStorageArray (subtarget=Port, portsubinfo=WWN)
command. Then, select the port whose wwn value displayed below An instance of WWN
matches the worldWidePortName value of the portname parameter. Then, for the external-
wwn parameter, specify the worldWidePortName value of that port. At this time, record the
portID value.
For SMI-S enabled storage systems, use the storage system management tool to obtain the WWN
value for the port, and then specify that value for the externalwwn parameter.
externallun
For external storage systems other than SMI-S enabled storage systems, obtain this value from
the execution results of the GetStorageArray (subtarget=Path, pathsubinfo=WWN)
command. Then, for the externallun parameter, specify the LUN value of a path that satisfies
the following conditions:
• The wwn value displayed below An instance of WWN matches the worldWidePortName
value of the portname parameter.
• The portID value displayed below An instance of Path matches the portID value of
the externalwwn parameter.
For SMI-S enabled storage systems, use the storage system management tool to obtain the LUN
value for the path, and then specify that value for the externallun parameter.
