AddLogicalUnit command parameters

Parameter Name Status

Description

capacity

Required

Desired capacity (in KB) for the new LU
The specified value is adjusted, depending on the minimum unit that is set
to the volume size of each storage subsystem. Therefore, the size of the
logical unit that was actually created might exceed the specified value.
For XP24000/XP20000 and XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 only, you can
use the capacitytype parameter to change the unit of capacity to
block

.

emulation

Optional
(for
XP24000/
XP20000,
XP12000/
XP10000/
SVS200,
XP1024/
XP128,
and
XP512/
XP48)

Emulation type of the logical unit in the HP XP Disk Array
The following are the specifiable emulation types:

OPEN-3

OPEN-8

OPEN-9

OPEN-E

OPEN-K

OPEN-V (available only for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 and
XP1024/128)

Specify the same emulation type as the array group in which a logical unit
is created.
If no such emulation is present, array group emulation is used.

devnum

Optional

LU device number
If omitted, the number is automatically generated.
This parameter can be specified in decimal, and in colon-separated
hexadecimal. If you specify a hexadecimal number, for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, XP1024/XP128, and XP512/XP48, use the
xx:yy format, where xx is the CU number, and yy is the LDEV number.
For XP24000/XP20000, use the ww:xx:yy format, where ww is the LDKC
number, xx is the CU number, and yy is the LDEV number. ww is optional.
If you omit ww, the LDKC number is regarded as 0.

NOTE:

The execution results are output in decimal.

lusubinfo

Optional

If set to LDEV, returns the information on LDEV(s) related to the LU.

The value you can specify is LDEV only, which is not case-sensitive.

format

Optional
(for
XP24000/
XP20000
and
XP12000/
XP10000/
SVS200)

Specifies the format status of LDEVs that constitute an LU.
You can specify the following values:

none

: Creates an unformatted LDEV.

normal

: Creates a formatted LDEV.

quick

: Creates an LDEV formatted by using Quick Format.

NOTE:

If omitted, a formatted LDEV will be created.

NOTE:

If you specify this value, make sure that the value of the

autoFormatLU

attribute of the StorageArray instance is 0.

NOTE:

You can specify quick only when XP24000/XP20000 is used and

the DKC microcode version is 60-02-4x-xx/xx or later.

capacitytype

Optional

The unit for the value specified in the capacity parameter

The values you can specify are KB or block.

If this parameter is omitted, KB is set as the unit.

NOTE:

block

can be specified for XP24000/XP20000 and

XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 only.
