Page 167: Viewing concatenated, Parity groups
NOTE:
If an LDEV number ends with # (for example, 00:01#), the LDEV is an external LU. For more
information about external LUs, see the
HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide
.
NOTE:
If an LDEV number ends with V (for example, 00:01V), the LDEV is a virtual volume (V-VOL). For
more information about V-VOLs, see the
HP StorageWorks Snapshot XP user guide
.

Creating LUSE volumes
CAUTION:
LUSE creation is a destructive operation. Move and/or back up your data before proceeding.
There are three ways to create a LUSE volume:
• Creating LUSE volumes using the Volume Count list
(recommended)
• Creating LUSE volumes using the Select an LDEV list
• Creating LUSE volumes using the LDEV information table
Creating LUSE volumes using the Volume Count list
1.
From the Volume Manager pane, select a CU number to create a LUSE volume from the LDEV
Information tree.
2.
In the Select an LDEV list, select a top LDEV of the LUSE volume.
The selected top volume appears in the Expanded LDEVs list. Normal LDEVs, CVS volumes, and
LUSE volumes that can be used for a LUSE volume appear in the Free LDEVs table.
3.
In the Volume Count list, select the number of LDEVs needed to form a LUSE volume.
The Expanded LDEVs list displays as many LDEVs as specified in the Volume Count list. For example,
if you select 3 in the Volume Count list, three LDEVS appear in the Expanded LDEVs list.
NOTE:
You cannot select LUSE volumes in the Volume Count list. To select LUSE volumes, select
LDEVs from the Free LDEVs table, and click Add.
