Create Volume - HP P2000 Reference Manual

create volume

Description Creates a volume in a vdisk. You must specify a size for the volume. You can create the volume
unmapped or set its default mapping. Default mapping settings apply to all hosts, unless overridden
by an explicit mapping between a host and the volume. You can later change the mapping by using
the map volume
By default, this command will not map the created volume.

size size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Sets the volume size using the current base, as shown by the
can be specified as follows:
• If base 2 is in use: B (bytes), KiB (kibibytes), MiB (mebibytes), or GiB (gibibytes)
• If base 10 is in use: B (bytes), KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), or GB (gigabytes)
If no unit is specified, the unit is 512-byte blocks.
mapping ports.LUN
Deprecated; use the ports and lun parameters.
access read-write|rw|read-only|ro|no-access
Optional. The access permission for hosts connected to the controller for this volume: read-write (rw),
read-only (ro), or no-access. If no-access is specified, the volume is not mapped. The default is
read-write.
lun LUN
Optional if the access parameter is set to no-access. Specifies the LUN to assign to the mapping
on all ports.
ports ports
Optional. The ports through which the host can access the volume. In a combo system, select either
FC or iSCSI ports, not both. For port syntax, see
omitted, all ports are selected.
snap-pool snap-pool
Optional. Name or serial number of the snap pool to associate with the new volume. For volume
syntax, see
reserve size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Optional. Size of the snap pool to create in the vdisk. If this parameter is omitted, the size will be
either 20% of the volume size or the minimum snap-pool size, whichever is larger. Use either this
parameter or the snap-pool parameter.
