drop-down list.
2. From the Customized Volume pane, select the LDEV folder in the Parity Group - LDEV tree to display
a list of VDEVs, and select a VDEV for OPEN-V. The LDEV Information table displays detailed
information about the LDEVs.
NOTE:
If the selected VDEV contains one or more CVs that violate any restriction for the Make
Volume function (see Volume Initialize and Make Volume functions ), you cannot perform
the Make Volume operation. Remove all invalid CVs before performing the Make Volume
operation.

an OPEN-V volume, the Make Volume pane (1) for OPEN-V appears ( Figure 97 ). Go to step 4. If
the selected VDEV is a volume other than OPEN-V, the Make Volume CV pane (1) for other than
OPEN-V appears ( Figure 98 ). Go to step 5.

a. In the Capacity Unit list, select the capacity unit for the selected volume from the following
options: MB, Cyl, or block.
b. Select one of the following CVS volume creation methods:
• Specify capacity and number
• Divide free space by number
• Divide free space by capacity
• Set remaining space as volume
NOTE:
If there are two or more free spaces in the VDEV, Divide free space by number, Divide
free space by capacity, and Set remaining space as volume are not available.
c. Specify the CVS volume's capacity and number of CVs according to the selected method. For
example:
• If you select Specify capacity and number, enter the capacity, either in MB or Cyl,
selected in the Capacity Unit list, and the number of CVs in the Capacity and Number
boxes.
• If you select Divide free space by number, enter the number of CVs in the Number box.
• If you select Divide free space by capacity, enter the capacity in the Capacity box.
• If you select Set remaining space as volume, go to step 6.
d. Click Set to display the setting in the LDEV Information table. To remove CVS volume settings
displayed in the LDEV Information table, do the following:
• To remove a setting, select the CVS volume, and click Delete. When a confirmation
message appears, click OK.

a. In the Emulation Type list, select the emulation type.
b. In the Capacity field, enter the capacity of the CVS volume you want to create, either in MB
or block for open systems or in cylinders (Cyl) for mainframe volumes. The available capacity
