-import -SPE
Preallocate server (initiator) WWNs for a Virtual Connect Domain Group. An

with a preallocated WWN, for which appropriate zoning and storage
presentation has already been done
-reserve –wwn
Exports the inventory of managed resources (servers, blades, hypervisors, and
so on) and any current annotations (local disk information) to the xml file as
specified with the –file parameter. By editing this file and adding or editing
the local disk information within it, and then importing the xml file using
lsmutil –import –an –file filename.xml
, You can create or modify
information about local disks that is hidden from Insight Dynamics discovery.
This command is usable only for available Blades and DL servers controlled
by the CMS.
If the user specifies a negative storagesize within the imported xml file,
the localdisk information will be reset to the default settings.

NOTE:
The -export –spe only exports a subset of the information concerning a catalog-based
(SPM-based) storage pool entries. It exports all of the information as displayed with other storage
pool entries, but it does not export the information that is particular to a catalog-based storage
pool entry.
The –import –spe options cannot be used with catalog-based storage pool entries.
The XML file that is generated from the LSMUTIL -export –spe command contains a number
