howw to export to multple hosts using createvlun

Post by adtech247 »

Hi guys,
I am new to 3par trying to learn as much as possible especially as far as the CLI management of 3par.

I want to export a VV to a set of esxi machines in vcenter. I know can run this command

createvlun FC_R1_DataStore_1 41 host1

How do i build my command so that i can export it to multiple hosts:

I've tried this
createvlun FC_R1_DataStore_1 41 host1,host2,host3

but no luck!

please advice...

I think you first need to create a hostset and then export to the hostset

Once you build the hosts I would then build host sets and export the lun to the host set, this way if you add hosts to the set it will automatically get all the luns already presented to that set. If you create volume sets I would NOT export the volume set to the host set as that can set you up for problems later on if you delete luns from the volume set and try to add new ones.

I concur, host set is the way to go, and I double down on what Kluken said with not using both HOST SETS and volume sets.

createhostset MYESXFARM1 host1 host2 host3

createvlun FC_R1_DataStore_1 41 set:MYESXFARM1
