About creating volumes

You create volumes by using the available space in a Thin Provisioning (THP) pool or parity group.
You can then access the volumes when you are ready to allocate them to a host. If, while allocating
volumes to a host, no volumes match the specified requirements, volumes are automatically created
using the available space.

Newly created volumes are included in the list of Open-Unallocated volumes until you allocate them
to a host.

Because creating volumes takes time, you should create volumes in advance.

Prerequisites for creating volumes

Before creating volumes, verify that the storage systems are registered in P9000 Command View AE
Software.

In addition, determine:

number of volumes you are creating

volume size

target storage system name

volume type
