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.
symaccess -sid 1234 -name MyStorageGroup -type storage add devs
0A04:0A05 ;
