Is unique within the object type
l
VxFlex OS objects are assigned a unique ID that can be used to identify the object in
CLI commands. You can retrieve the ID via a query, or via the object's property sheet
in the VxFlex OS GUI. It is highly recommended to give each volume a meaningful
name associated with its operational role.
To add one or multiple volumes, perform these steps:
Procedure
1. In any of the Frontend
you want to add the volume, and select it.
2. From the Command menu or context-sensitive menu, select Add Volume.
3. In the Add Volume window, if you want to create more than one volume, select
Create multiple volumes and type the number of volumes you would like to add
in the Copies box.
If you type
, only one volume will be created (optional—can be left blank).
1
l
If you type a number greater than 1, the characters %i% will be added to the
l
Name box, and multiple volumes will be created, accordingly.
The volumes will be named and numbered automatically, starting from 1. If
you want the numbering to start from a different number, type it in the
Start numbering at box, as described in step 5. The remaining options in
the window will be assigned to all the volumes created in this operation.
4. Type a name for the volume:
If you are adding one volume, enter the name in the Name box.
l
If you are adding multiple volumes, enter the base name in the Base name
l
box.
The volumes will all be created with the same name, and a number will be
appended instead of the characters %i%. These characters can be
positioned anywhere in the name. The names that will be created are
displayed in the right pane of the window, as shown in the figure later in this
topic.
5. If you want the numbering to start from a specific number other than 1, type it
in the Start numbering at box.
This number will be the first number in the series that will be appended to the
volume name. For example, if the Name is Vol%i% and the Start numbering at
value is 100, the name of the first volume created will be Vol100, and the
second volume will be Vol101, and so on.
6. Type a number in the Size box, representing the volume size in GB (basic
allocation granularity is 8 GB).
7. Select either Thick (default) or Thin provisioning options.
8. If you want to enable the RMcache feature (disabled by default), select Use
RMcache.
9. Click OK.
The progress of the operation is displayed at the bottom of the window. It is
recommended to keep the window open until the operation is completed, and
until you can see the result of the operation.
