[Q] CLI how to export VV to hosts

Hi,

I am new to 3PAR. I started to use it today!

I have created a virtual volume with createvv and would like to export it to a host.

I cannot find the export command to do this.

Does anyone know what it is?


The HELP command is there and 'HELP createvv' provides excellent content.

I thought createvlun would have helped but it seems to create a vlun template only. ( I can do this via the GUI, but the GUI stops a script dead in its tracks ).

createvlun is the correct command to export a volume to a host. As long as the host is not connected to the system, only a vlun-template is created. When the host connects (e.g. via iSCSI) the actual vluns are created automatically.

So just do "createvlun vol_name auto host_name" and you should be set.

Thank-you. I shall do this.

Cheers.
