70 Alphabetical list of commands
reserve size[B|KB|MB|GB|TB|KiB|MiB|GiB|TiB]
Optional. Size of the snap pool to create in the vdisk. If this parameter is omitted, the size will be
either 20% of the volume size or 5.37 GB, whichever is larger. Use either this parameter or the
snap-pool parameter.
NOTE: In rare cases, a large amount of I/O can cause a snap pool that is too small to fill quickly.
This can result in all snapshots being deleted due to the snap pool running out of space. Create snap
pools of at least 50 GB to avoid this situation.
snappable
Optional. Specifies to create a master volume instead of a standard volume.
prepare-replication-volume
Optional. Specifies to create a secondary volume instead of a regular master volume. This
parameter precludes use of the mapping, lun, and ports parameters because a secondary
volume cannot be mapped.
ovms-uid ID
For a volume to be accessed by an OpenVMS host, assign a volume ID in the range 1–32767 to
identify the volume to the host.
name
A name for the new volume. The name is case sensitive; cannot include a comma, double quote, left
angle bracket, or backslash; and can have a maximum of 20 bytes. A name that includes a space
must be enclosed in double quotes.
Example Create the 20-GB volume V1 on vdisk VD1, and map it to ports A1 and B1 using LUN 5:
# create volume vdisk VD1 size 20GB ports a1,b1 lun 5 V1
Info: The volume was created. (V1)
Info: The volume was mapped. (V1) (2012-01-18 16:53:27)
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-18 16:53:27)
