Virtual Provisioning in Vmax<\/h3>\n

Below are the steps involved to setup Virtual Provisioning. Here I am assuming that there is an existing storage group called MyStorageGroup<\/em> and we need to allocate the new thin device to that SG.<\/p>\n

1. Create a Thin Pool<\/h5>\n

create pool ThinPool1 type =thin;<\/code><\/p>\n

2. Create DATA Devices<\/h5>\n

Create 4 x 2GB Raid-5 , DATA Devices<\/p>\n

create dev count=4, config=RAID-5, data_member_count=3, attribute=datadev, emulation=FBA, size=2GB, disk_group=1;<\/code><\/p>\n

3. Add DATA Devices to Thin Pool<\/h5>\n

0A00:0A03 are DATA devices created in the previous step<\/p>\n

add dev 0A00:0A03 to pool ThinPool1 type=thin member_state =ENABLE;<\/code><\/p>\n

4. Create Thin Devices<\/h5>\n

Create 2 thin devices of size 4GB each<\/p>\n

create dev count=2, config=TDEV, emulation=FBA, size=4GB;<\/code><\/p>\n

5. Bind Thin Devices to Thin Pool<\/h5>\n

0A04:0A05 are thin devices created in the previous step<\/p>\n

bind tdev 0A04:0A05 to pool ThinPool1;<\/code><\/p>\n

6. Add Thin Devices to Storage Group<\/h5>\n

Here we are adding the thin devices 0A04:0A05, to the Storage Group MyStorageGroup<\/em><\/p>\n
