5.2.1 Create DP volume
Function
Creates a specified virtual volume (DP volume) by using Hitachi Device Manager Software (hereafter called HDvM).
This plugin assumes the following servers:
• HDvM server
Server on which HDvM is installed.
• HDvM CLI server (Execution target server)
Server on which HDvM CLI is installed. The plugin is sent to this server by JP1/AO and then is executed.
Use situation
When you add a virtual server and virtual disk, you use this plugin to create a DP volume at the data storage destination.
You can achieve this processing by combining this plugin with the following plugins:
• storageAddHostgroupLU
• vsphereRecognizeLU
• vsphereGetCanonicalName
• vsphereCreateDatastore
