From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command:
configuration continue-system-setup
Note that this part of the EZ-Setup finishes by rediscovering the back-end arrays.
Wait several minutes for the rediscovery to complete before you proceed to the next
task.
1. From the VPlexcli prompt, type the following command to list available storage
volumes:
ll /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes -p
Output example (partial):
From the ll output, identify the two back-end storage volumes (78 GB minimum)
to be used for the meta-volume and a mirror of the meta-volume.
Note: EMC recommends that the meta-volume and mirror be on separate arrays.
Note: If you do not see any available volumes:
a. Type the following commands to rediscover the back-end storage:
cd /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-arrays
array re-discover <array_name>
b. Type the following command to verify the availability of the provisioned storage:
storage-volume summary
2. Type the following command to create the meta-volume and a mirror:
Note: You can copy a storage volume name from the ll output and paste it into the
following command. To do this, highlight the volume to select it, and then right-click at the
point in the command where you want to paste the volume.
meta-volume create -n <meta-volume_name> -d <storage-volume_1_
name>,<storage-volume_2_name>
where:
• <meta-volume_name> is a name you are assigning to the meta-volume.
• <storage-volume_1_name> is the VPD (Virtual Private Database) name of the
meta-volume.
• <storage-volume_2_name> is the VPD name of the mirror.
The mirror can consist of multiple storage volumes (which will become a
RAID 1), in which case you would include each additional volume, separated
by commas. For example:
<storage-volume_1_name>,<storage-volume_2_name>,<storage-volume_3_name>
