15. On the 3. Setup V-VOLs page, assign LDEV numbers to the V-VOLs by selecting the Specify start
number of V-VOL(s) check box and specifying the start numbers of CU and LDEV.
If the Specify start number of V-VOL(s) check box is not selected, the CU:LDEV of the V-VOLs will
be automatically assigned during the creation. If the specified number is an LDEV number being
used as a non-representative LDEV of a LUSE in Device Manager, V-VOL creation may fail.
16. Click Next.
The 4. Confirm page is displayed.
17. Review all parameters of the V-VOLs and click Confirm.
The 5. Finish page is displayed.
TIP:
The time taken to complete this operation depends on the count and size of the primary
LDEVs, and the specified Count of Snapshot. For five 1 GB primary LDEVs, it takes
approximately 20 minutes. For one 1 GB primary LDEV and 1024 snapshots, it takes
approximately 40 minutes. This operation can take longer when a large number of primary
LDEVs are selected.
18. Confirm that the V-VOLs created are listed on the V-VOLs tab in the Storage Systems view.
TIP:
The size of created V-VOLs are exactly the same as the size of target LDEVs.

Setting up command devices
A command device is necessary for P9000 RAID Manager (a prerequisite product for Replication
Manager) to communicate with storage systems. Replication Manager allows you to specify command
devices in open systems if the storage system type is XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, or
XP24000/XP20000.
You can set up command devices using a wizard on the Cmd Devs tab in the storage systems view.
TIP:
The command devices that you are setting up must be recognized by the pair management server. If
you use the central management method, disable the command device security function. If the command
device security function is enabled, copy pairs can be set only for the volumes that are recognized
by the pair management server.
For details on how to add command devices, see “ Adding command devices ” on page 113.
