HP XP External Storage Software - Manual (Page 106)

Mapping External Volumes
Tags to map external volumes are:
•
The AddVolumeSetting tag: Creates multiple LDEVs in an external volume by specifying the
capacity
•
The AddVolumeSetting2 tag: Creates one LDEV in an external volume without specifying the
capacity
The version number that you write in a spreadsheet declaration differs depending on the tag you
use. Write the appropriate version number for the tag you use (for details, see
“Available Types
and Operation Tags” (page 102) ).
You can map external volumes to the local storage system by specifying a spreadsheet that includes
one of these tags when you execute the
CFLSET command using the CFL Extension.
Write parameters required for mapping external volumes in these tags. Parameters must be written
in a hierarchical structure by using the + identifier.
Table 19 (page 106) shows the structure and
identifier of the parameters that can be set for these tags.

Tag)
Description Content Identifier Layer
This layer is required. Information about external
volumes and the primary path None First layer
Specifies one row for each alternate path. Up to seven
rows can be specified. HP recommends that you specify
at least one alternate path. Information about alternate paths +, Second
layer
Specifies one row for each LDEV. Up to 2,048 rows can
be specified. If you do not specify the third layer, no
LDEVs will be created. Information about LDEVs +,+, Third layer
AddVolumeSetting Tag
Use the AddVolumeSetting tag to create multiple LDEVs in an external volume by specifying the
LDEV capacity. The AddVolumeSetting tag allows you to specify the LDEV capacity in blocks so
you can use this tag to create an LDEV with the predetermined capacity (an LDEV for creating a
pair, for example).
Table 20 (page 107) shows the parameters that can be set for the AddVolumeSetting tag.
