•
Deleting V-VOLs from an existing V-VOL group.
For more information on Virtual LVI/LUN, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Virtual
LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User Guide.
Creating a V-VOL Group
When creating a V-VOL group, define the V-VOLs for the group at the same time. Although multiple
V-VOLs can be defined to a V-VOL group, the recommendation is to define just one V-VOL per
V-VOL group. The number of V-VOL groups allowed is the same as the maximum number of V-VOLs
in the system.
If you plan to increase the capacity of a V-VOL, free space is needed in the V-VOL group immediately
adjacent to the V-VOL. The recommendation to define a single V-VOL per V-VOL group allows for
any V-VOL to be expanded to its maximum allowed capacity. For more information about increasing
V-VOL capacity, see
“Increasing V-VOL Capacity” (page 67) .
To create a V-VOL Group:
1. Access the Pool window by selecting Go Volume Manager Pool (see “Accessing the Pool
Window” (page 59) ).
2. In the pool tree, in the upper left corner of the window, right-click the XP Thin Provisioning
folder, and then select New V-VOL Group.
