To claim and name a storage volume:
1. Type the following commands to display a list of available storage volumes:
cd /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes
ls
2. Type the following command to claim and name a storage volume:
storage-volume claim -n <storage_volume_name> -d
<storage_volume_ID>
where:
• <storage_volume_name> is an unique name you are assigning to the volume.
• <storage_volume_ID> is the ID (for example, Symm2206_2ADF, or
clar2065_LUN537) in the output from step 1.
Note: If you want to claim multiple storage volumes, separate the volume IDs with
commas or use the command storage-volume claimingwizard, as described in the
VPLEX CLI Guide.
3. Type the following command to create the extent:
extent create -d <storage_volume_name>
In you do not include any arguments, this command creates an extent the size of
the storage volume. However, you can create multiple smaller extents (up to 128
per storage volume).
Note: Extents are named and claimed automatically.
4. Type the following command to verify that the extent was created:
ls /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents
