Creating CVS volumes (Install CV operation)
Use the Install CV function to define and install one or more CVS volumes (CVs) in spaces created with the
Volume to Space operation or define and install one or more CVS volumes (CVs) in free spaces created
as a result of creating volumes in VDEVs.
NOTE: The Install CV function allocates CVS volumes in the order in which the function finds sufficient
free space for the CVS volumes. For optimum space allocation, allocate CVS volumes in descending order
of capacity.
1. On the upper right of the XP Remote Web Console main pane, select a CU group from the drop-down
list.
2. From the Customized Volume pane, select the LDEV folder in the Parity Group - LDEV tree to display a
list of Control Units. From the LDEV Information table, select a VDEV to display detailed information
about LDEVs in the selected VDEV.
3. Right-click any part of the Parity Group - LDEV tree, and select Install CV.
If the selected VDEV is an OPEN-V volume, the Install CV pane (1) for OPEN-V appears (
Figure 94 ).
Go to step 4 .
If the selected VDEV is a volume other than OPEN-V, the Install CV pane (1) for other than OPEN-V
appears ( Figure 95 ). Go to step 5 .
4. From the Install CV pane (1) for OPEN-V, do the following:
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 or the number of CVs according to the selected method. For
example:
• If you select Specify capacity and number, enter the capacity (either in MB, Cyl, or blocks)
selected in the Capacity Unit list and the number of CVs in Capacity and Number, respectively.
• If you select Divide free space by number, enter the number of CVs in the Number box.
