5.3.4 Check LU creation
Function
Verifies that a specified LU can be created by using Hitachi Device Manager Software (hereafter called Device Manager).
This module assumes the following servers:
• HDvM server
This is the server on which Device Manager is installed.
• HDvM CLI server (Execution target server)
This is the server on which Device Manager CLI is installed. The module is transferred from JP1/AO to this server and then is executed.
Checks the following:
• Whether a storage system with a specified serial number and family name has been registered in HDvM
If the storage system is not registered in HDvM, the result is false.
• Whether the device number of a specified DP volume is in use in the storage system
If the device number is already in use in the storage system, the result is false.
• Whether a DP pool with the ID of a specified DP pool and the ID of a specified host group has already been registered in the storage system
The module checks if a specified LU number is already in use in the storage system.
If either the DP pool ID or the host group ID does not exist or the LU number is already in use, the result is false.
• Whether a DP pool in a specified storage system has enough free space to create the DP volume
If the size of the DP volume is greater than the free space available in the DP pool, the result is false.
The property to be used for specifying the family name of storage system varies depending on the type of storage system to be operated. For the following storage systems, specify the family name of the storage system for the family name of the storage system (custom option) (the property HDvM.familyText):
- For Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1500, specify VSP G1500.
- For Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F1500, specify VSP F1500.
- For Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G200/G400/G600/G800, specify VSP Gx00.
- For Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F400/F600/F800, specify VSP Fx00.
For storage systems other than the above, specify the family name of the storage system for the family name of the storage system (the property HDvM.family).
Use situation
When you intend to add an LU, you first use this module to check whether the LU can be created in the data storage DP pool.
