Creating a volume set
In a vdisk that has sufficient free space, you can create multiple volumes with the same base name, size,
and default mapping settings.
To create a volume set
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a vdisk and select Provisioning > Create Volume Set .
2. In the main panel, set the options:
• Volume Set Base-name. Optionally change the base name for the volumes. The volume names will
consist of the base name and a number that increments from 000. If a name in the series is already
in use, the next name in the series is assigned. For example, for a two-volume set starting with
Volume000, if Volume001 already exists, the second volume is named Volume002. A base name is
case sensitive and cannot already be used by another vdisk. A name cannot include a comma,
double quote, or backslash.
• Total Volumes. Specify the number of volumes to create.
• Size. Optionally change the volume size. The default size is the total space divided by the number
of volumes.
• Map. Select this option to change the default mapping for the volumes:
• Access. Select the access level that hosts will have to the volumes.
• LUN. If the access level is set to read-write or read-only, set a LUN for the first volume. The next
available LUN is assigned to the next volume mapped through the same ports. For example, for
a two-volume set starting with LUN 100, if 101 is already assigned to a volume mapped through
the same ports, the second volume is assigned 102.
• In the enclosure view or list, select controller host ports through which attached hosts can access
the volumes.
3. Click Apply . If the task succeeds, the new volumes appear in the Configuration View panel.
Creating a volume
You can add a volume to a vdisk that has sufficient free space, and define default mapping settings.
To create a volume in a vdisk
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a vdisk and select Provisioning > Create Volume .
2. In the main panel, set the options:
• Volume name. Optionally change the default name. A volume name is case sensitive and cannot
already exist in a vdisk. A name cannot include a comma, double quote, or backslash.
• Size. Optionally change the default size, which is all free space in the vdisk.
• OpenVMS Volume. Select this option if an OpenVMS host will access the volume.
• OpenVMS Volume UID. If OpenVMS Volume is selected, enter a number in the range 1–32767 to
identify the volume to the host.
• Map. Select this option to change the default mapping for the volume:
• Access. Select the access level that hosts will have to the volume.
• LUN. If the access level is set to read-write or read-only, set a LUN for the volume.
• In the enclosure view or list, select controller host ports through which attached hosts can access
the volume.
3. Click Apply . If the task succeeds, the new volume appears in the Configuration View panel.
