storage container.

Syntax Description
The table shows syntax for LUN commands.
name Defines the name of LUN to be created; used as
a prefix if the quantity of LUNs created is
greater than one.
size Defines the size of each LUN in GB, or "equal"
to divide the free space of the container equally
among the new LUNs. A value of 0 (zero) may
be used in place of "equal."
container Identifies the name of the container in which the
LUN is created.
quantity Defines the number of LUNs to be created; the
default is 1. If the number is greater than 1, the
names of the newly created LUNs will be
appended with an index number from
startnum up to the number of LUNs created.
nozero Specify to avoid zeroing-out the data on the
LUNs, which could take a long time for large
LUNs.
readonly Creates the LUNs in read-only mode.
startnum Defines starting index number for newly created
LUNs. The default is 1.
