From the CU:LDEV list, select one or more LDEVs.

NOTE:

For the OPEN-V emulation type, you can also convert LUSE volumes into free space. If the
available LDEV is a LUSE volume, the emulation type appears with an asterisk and the
number of volumes in the LUSE volume (for example, OPEN-V*3) in the Emulation column
of the table.

NOTE:

To select two or more adjacent LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Shift key. To
select two or more discrete LDEVs, select the LDEVs while pressing the Ctrl key.

Right-click the selected LDEVs, and select Volume to Space. The Volume to Space Confirmation
dialog box appears.

If the listed volumes are correct, click OK.

The change is not yet implemented in the array, but the following changes appear on the
Customized Volume pane:

• Selected LDEVs are listed as Free.
• Figures in the Capacity column are not yet updated
• The color of the VDEV icon you manipulated in the Parity Group - LDEV tree changes from

red to blue. You cannot manipulate blue VDEVs until you click Apply or Cancel, but you can
perform additional Volume to Space operations on VDEVs with red icons.

Click Apply (or Cancel).

Click OK (or Cancel).

NOTE:

A notation appears across the bottom of the pane indicating the change is in process (for
example, LDEVs >> Free Spaces and Array is Refreshing) or the operation is complete (for
example, Complete).

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.
