Viewing VDEV and LDEV configuration information
You can view configuration information for VDEVs and LDEVs on the Customized Volume pane
). This pane shows an outline of group numbers, parity group numbers, RAID levels,
and VDEV numbers and a table of CU:LDEV numbers, emulation types, LDEV capacities, and path

You can view setting information for LDEV numbers for a CU number in a selected parity group on
the Install CV pane (2) (
), Make Volume pane (2) (
), and Volume Initialize pane
(1) (
).
In the table, gray indicates LDEV numbers that are already in use, white indicates unused LDEV
numbers, and blue indicates available LDEV numbers.
Viewing concatenated parity groups
1.
From the Customized Volume pane, right-click a set of parity groups (
) from the Parity Group -
LDEV tree. If there are concatenated parity groups, a shortcut menu appears.
NOTE:
If you select a parity group icon that does not indicate concatenated parity groups (
),
the shortcut menu does not appear.
2.
Select Concatenation List. The Concatenation List dialog box appears.
3.
Click OK.
Converting logical volumes to space
CAUTION:
The Volume to Space function is a destructive operation. Data on the logical volumes being converted
is lost when the operation is complete. You are responsible for backing up data as needed before
performing this operation.
Use the Volume to Space function to convert one or more logical volumes (LDEVs) to space, which deletes
the selected LDEVs from that VDEV. In other words, the Volume to Space function converts one or more
selected LDEVs (FVs or CVs) in a VDEV into spaces. For more information, see
.
1.
On the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console main pane, select a CU group from the
drop-down list.
2.
From the Customized Volume pane, select the LDEV folder in the Parity Group - LDEV tree to open
a list of VDEVs.
3.
In the LDEV Information table, select a VDEV to display detailed information about the LDEVs of the
selected VDEV.
4.
From the CU:LDEV list, select one or more LDEVs.
NOTE:
For the OPEN-V emulation type, you can also convert LUSE volumes into free space. If
the available LDEV is a LUSE volume, the emulation type appears with an asterisk and
the number of volumes in the LUSE volume (for example, OPEN-V*3) in the Emulation
column of the table.
