Virtual Provisioning in VMaxBelow are the steps involved to setup Virtual Provisioning.Here i am assuming that,there is an existing storage group calledMyStorageGroupand we need to allocate the new thin device to that SG.1Create a Thin Poolcreate pool ThinPool1 type =thin;2Create DATA DevicesCreate 4 x 2GB Raid-5 , DATA Devices.

create dev count=4, config=RAID-5, data_member_count=3, attribute=datadev, emulation=FBA, size=2GB, disk_group=1;3Add DATA Devices to thin pool0A00:0A03 are DATA devices created in the previous step.

add dev 0A00:0A03 to pool ThinPool1 type=thin member_state =ENABLE;4Create Thin DevicesCreate 2 thin devices of size 4GB each.

create dev count=2, config=TDEV, emulation=FBA, size=4GB;5Bind Thin Devices to Thin pool0A04:0A05 are Thin devices created in the previous step.

bind tdev 0A04:0A05 to pool ThinPool1;6Add thin devices to Storage GroupHere we are adding the thin devices 0A04:0A05 , to the Storage GroupMyStorageGroup.
