NOTE: When the Volume Initialize operation starts, a notation appears across the bottom of the
pane indicating the progress and completion at the end of the operation.
Re-creating CVs after initializing the VDEV (Make Volume operation)
CAUTION: The Make Volume function is a destructive operation. Data on the CVS volume being
converted is lost when the operation is complete. You are responsible for backing up data as needed
before performing this operation.
CAUTION: An error message might appear if Volume Initialize and Make Volume operations are
performed concurrently. For this error message, the part code is 0003 and the error number is 1041. If
this message appears, ensure that these operations are performed separately.
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 display a
list of VDEVs, and select a VDEV for OPEN-V. The LDEV Information table displays detailed
information about the LDEVs.
NOTE: If the selected VDEV contains one or more CVs that violate any restriction for the Make
Volume function (see ” Volume Initialize and Make Volume functions ” on page 139), you cannot
perform the Make Volume operation. Remove all invalid CVs before performing the Make Volume
operation.
3. Right-click any part of the Parity Group - LDEV tree, and select Make Volume. If the selected VDEV is
an OPEN-V volume, the Make Volume pane (1) for OPEN-V appears ( Figure 99 ). Go to step 4 . If the
selected VDEV is a volume other than OPEN-V, the Make Volume CV pane (1) for other than OPEN-V
appears ( Figure 100 ). Go to step 5 .
4. On the Make Volume pane (1) for OPEN-V, do the following:
a. In the Capacity Unit list, select the capacity unit for the selected volume from the following options:
MB, Cyl, or block.
b. Select one of the following CVS volume creation methods:
• Specify capacity and number
• Divide free space by number
• Divide free space by capacity
• Set remaining space as volume
NOTE: If there are two or more free spaces in the VDEV, Divide free space by number, Divide free
space by capacity, and Set remaining space as volume are not available.
c. Specify the CVS volume’s capacity and number of CVs according to the selected method. For
example:
• If you select Specify capacity and number, enter the capacity, either in MB or Cyl, selected in
the Capacity Unit list, and the number of CVs in the Capacity and Number boxes.
• If you select Divide free space by number, enter the number of CVs in the Number box.
• If you select Divide free space by capacity, enter the capacity in the Capacity box.
• If you select Set remaining space as volume, go to
step 6 .
