5-8 Allocating a Volume to a Host from a List of Unallocated
Volumes
In the List Unallocated LDEVs - Storage Pool subwindow, from a list of volumes not allocated on the host, you
can allocate volumes on a host. By selecting multiple volumes, you can also create a LUSE. The settings for
the selected volume are performed using Device Manager functionality. For details, see the HP StorageWorks
Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Web Client User Guide.
A maximum of 16,384 volumes can be displayed in the list of volumes. If you want to display information for
16,385 or more volumes, specify storage pool settings by following the procedure in
5-1-3 .
NOTE: Information not reflecting the latest status might be displayed when the storage subsystem
information is being updated. In such a case, a warning message is displayed, so wait a while and then retry
the view operation.
NOTE: If the volume is operated using partitioned storage administrator permissions, and different SLPRs or
CLPRs are set for the LDEV that configures the selected volume, or the SLPR for the selected volume is
different from the one for the assigned port, an error message is displayed indicating that the operation
cannot be performed by the partitioned storage administrator. In such a case, use Device Manager to check
which LDEV is inconsistent, and then reset the SLPR and CLPR information for the storage subsystem.
To allocate the volumes:
1. From the navigation frame, select Storage Pool. In the method frame, the Storage Pool subwindow is
displayed. In the information frame, the Show Properties - Storage Pool subwindow is displayed.
2. In the Storage Pool subwindow, select List Unallocated LDEVs. In the information frame, the List
Unallocated LDEVs - Storage Pool subwindow is displayed (see
Figure 5-20 ).
