Create Master-Volume - HP P2000 Reference Manual

create master-volume

Description Creates a volume that is enabled for snapshots. The master volume is created in a specified vdisk
and is associated with a specified snap pool. You can either associate the master volume with an
existing snap pool owned by the same controller, or optionally specify the size of a new snap pool to
automatically create. The vdisk and snap pool must be owned by the same controller.
For use with remote replication, you can create a replication-prepared volume that is intended to be
added to a replication set as its secondary volume. A secondary volume cannot be assigned a LUN
or mapped to hosts.

Parameters vdisk vdisk
Name or serial number of the vdisk to create the volume in. For vdisk syntax, see
on page 21.
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.
snap-pool snap-pool
Optional. Name or serial number of the snap pool to associate with the new master volume. For
volume syntax, see
automatically creates a snap pool that is either 20% of the master volume's size or the minimum
snap-pool size, whichever is larger. Use either this parameter or the reserve parameter.
reserve size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Optional. Size of the snap pool to create in the vdisk. The default size is either 20% of the volume
size or the minimum snap-pool size, whichever is larger. Use either this parameter or the
snap-pool parameter.
lun LUN
Optional. A default LUN to assign to the new master volume. If this parameter is omitted, no LUN is
assigned. Use either this parameter or the prepare-replication-volume parameter.
prepare-replication-volume
Optional. Specifies to create a replication volume instead of a regular master volume. Use either this
parameter or the lun parameter.
ovms-uid ID
For a volume to be accessed by an OpenVMS host, assign a volume ID in the range 1–32767 to
identify the volume to the host.
name
A name for the new volume. The name is case sensitive; cannot include a comma, double quote, or
backslash; and can have a maximum of 20 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in
double quotes.
