HP XP P9000 RAID Manager Reference Guide (T1610-96061, January 2014)

raidcom add ldev
Adds an LDEV to the specified parity group or the external volume group. Or this adds V-VOL for
Thin Provisioning, Thin Provisioning Z, Smart Tiers, Smart Tiers Z, Fast Snap, or Snapshot to the
specified pool.
This command is executed asynchronously with the command input. Check the completion of this
process on the raidcom get command_status command.
Syntax
raidcom add ldev {-parity_grp_id <gno-sgno>
| -external_grp_id <gno-sgno> | -pool {<pool ID#>
| <pool naming> | snap}} -ldev_id <ldev#> {-capacity <size>
| -offset_capacity <size> | -cylinder <size>}
[-emulation <emulation type>][-location <lba>]
[-mp_blade_id <mp#>] [-clpr <clpr#>
Options and parameters
DescriptionOption
Specifies the parity group number (gno:1-32, sgno:1-16). For example:
• 3-1
Specifies one of the following options: -raid_grp, - external_grp_id, or -pool_id.
-parity_grp_id <gno-sgno>
Specifies the external volume group number (gno:1-16384, sgno:1-4096). For example:
• 52-11 ("E" is not required)
Specifies one of the following options: -raid_grp, - external_grp_id, or -pool_id.
-external_grp_id <gno-sgno>
Specifies a Pool ID or Pool name for Thin Provisioning/Thin Provisioning Z/Smart
Tiers/Smart Tiers Z when V-VOL is created to Thin Provisioning/Thin Provisioning Z/Smart
Tiers/Smart Tiers Z pool.
-pool {<pool ID#> | <pool
naming> | snap}
When only a number is specified, it is recognized as a pool ID. Therefore, when you
specify a pool that the pool name is only a number, specify the pool ID instead of the
pool name.
When creating V-VOL for a Fast Snap or Snapshot pool, specify "snap".
Specifies the LDEV number (0-65279).-ldev_id <ldev#> |
-tse_ldev_id <ldev#>
If you specify -tse_ldev_id option, the volume is the same as the volume used by FlashCopy
SE. When using -tse_ldev_id option, you must create the virtual volumes in Thin
Provisioning Z. Examples:
• -ldev_id 200
• -tse_ldev_id 400
Specifies the capacity. The size can be specified in bytes or LBAs. When specifying
bytes, the unit is t/T (terabyte), g/G (gigabyte), m/M (megabyte), or k/K (kilobyte). If
this option is omitted, block (512KB) is used.
-capacity <size>
When specifying byte, note the following:
• There is no size correction.
• If the capacity of LDEVs that are created by GUI and CLI are the same, a copy pair
might not be created. To create a pair with an LDEV that was created by GUI, create
the LDEV by specifying LBA.
Example of specification:
1GB (gigabyte) is:
-capacity 1G, -capacity 1g, -capacity 1024M, -capacity 1024m, -capacity 1048576K,
-capacity 1048576k, -capacity 2097152
