Storage Logical Partition Operations
Storage logical partition operations have the following requirements:
• You must have storage administrator access for all storage logical partition actions described in
this section.
• If you have not yet created any storage logical partitions, all resources will belong to SLPR 0.
• Mainframe volumes must be allocated to SLPR 0, and cannot be migrated. Mainframe operations
must be performed by storage administrators.
• If you want to allocate a port to an SLPR other than SLPR 0, it must be a Target port.
• Before you create a customized volume (CV) in a storage logical partition using the Virtual LVI/LUN
(VLL) function, you must allocate the CU numbers to that SLPR. This is necessary so that the storage
partition administrator can allocate LDEVs to those CU numbers when creating a customized
volume. For more information on the VLL function, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000
Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User's Guide.
• For instructions on creating storage partition administrators and granting write access to one or
more products, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User's Guide.
Creating a Storage Logical Partition
To create storage logical partition:
1. From the Partition Definition window, right-click a storage system in the Partition Definition tree,
then select Create SLPR. This adds a storage logical partition to the Partition Definition tree. In
addition to the default SLPR 0, you can create up to 31 storage logical partitions, either at this
point in the process or at a later time.
2. Select the SLPR that you want to define from the Partition Definition tree. This opens the Storage
Management Logical Partition window.
3. In the SLPR Name field, enter the name of the selected SLPR. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric
characters.
4. In the CU field, enter the CU numbers for the selected SLPR (00-FE). An asterisk (*) indicates that
the SSID is assigned to the CU:
• To add a CU to the SLPR, select the CU from the Available CU list, then click Add to move
that CU to the CU list. You can select up to 64 CUs, whether or not those CUs are defined
as LDEVs.
• To delete CU from the specified SLPR, select the CU from the CU list and click Delete to return
that CU to the Available CU list.
5. Available SSIDs are in SLPR 0. In the SSID field, select an available SSID as follows:
