Examples
Creating an LDEV: 100 of size 10GB in a parity group: 33- 1 6.
Location in the parity group: automatic allocation, LDEV Emulation type: OPEN-V
raidcom add ldev -parity_grp_id 33-16 -ldev_id 100 -capacity 10G
Creating an LDEV of position in the external volume: allocated automatically, emulation type:
OPEN-V, External volume: 01-02, Capacity: 200MB, and LDEV number: 200.
raidcom add ldev –external_grp 01-02 -ldev_id 200 -capacity 200m
Creating a V-VOL of Capacity: 300MB and LDEV number: 300, to a pool for Thin
Provisioning/Smart Tiers.
raidcom add ldev -pool 4 -ldev_id 300 -capacity 300m
Creating a V-VOL of Capacity: 300MB and LDEV number: 400, to a pool for Snapshot.
raidcom add ldev -pool snap -ldev_id 400 -capacity 300m
raidcom delete ldev
Deletes the specified LDEVs or the V-VOLs. A device group can also be specified instead of an
LDEV.
This command is executed asynchronously with the command input. Check the completion of this
process on the raidcom get command_status command.

Description
Specifies an LDEV number (0-65279).
For example:
-ldev_id 200
Specifies a capacity. The size can be specified for GB and LBA. When specifying GB, the unit
is g/G, m/M, or k/K. Block (512KB) is used if the specification is omitted.
When specifying GB, note the following items:
There is no size correction.
If the capacity of LDEVs that are created by each GUI and CLI are the same, a copy pair
might not be created. To create a pair with the LDEV that is created by GUI, create a LDEV
by specifying LBA.
Example of extension:
1GB (gigabyte) is:
-capacity 1G, -capacity 1g, -capacity 1024M, -capacity 1024m, -capacity 1048576K, -capacity
1048576k, -capacity 2097152
In case of volumes other than OPEN-V, it is required the more free space than the capacity
which is actually specified. For more details, see the VLL/Virtual LUN Users Guide.
Specifies a Location (the starting point of the LDEV to be created in the parity group/external
volume group). If this specification is omitted, create a LDEV and close up in the free space.
Specifies an emulation type.
For example:
OPEN-V
If this specification is omitted, OPEN-V is specified.
The valid values that can be specified to <emulation type>:
OPEN-3, OPEN-8, OPEN-9, OPEN-E, OPEN-L, OPEN-V
Specifies an MP Blade ID (0-7). If this specification is omitted, it is allocated automatically.
