Storage provisioning command lines

Some SnapDrive for UNIX commands are used for storage provisioning.

The following command-line options are used for storage-provisioning operations:

Operation	Command-line option
Create	snapdrive storage create-lun long_lun_name [lun_name …​] -lunsize size [{ -dg | -vg } dg_name] [-igroup ig_name [ig_name …​]] [{ -reserve | -noreserve }][-fstype type] [-vmtype type]
	snapdrive storage create {-lvol | -hostvol} file_spec [{-dg | -vg} dg_name]{-dgsize | -vgsize} size-filervol long_filer_path [{-noreserve | -reserve}] [-fstype type] [-vmtype type]
	snapdrive storage create -fs file_spec -nolvm [-fsopts options ] [-mntopts options] [-nopersist] { -lun long_lun_name | -filervol long_filer_path } -lunsize size [-igroup ig_name [ig_name …​]] [{ -reserve | -noreserve }] [-fstype type] [-vmtype type]
	snapdrive storage create host_lvm_fspec -filervol long_filer_path -dgsize size [-igroup ig_name [ig_name …​]] [{ -reserve | -noreserve }]
	snapdrive storage create host_lvm_fspec -lun long_lun_name [lun_name …​] -lunsize size [-igroup ig_name [ig_name …​]] [{ -reserve | -noreserve }] Note You can use any one of the format for the -file_spec argument, depending on the type of storage you want to create. (Remember that -dg is a synonym for -vg, and -hostvol is a synonym for -lvol.) To create a file system directly on a LUN, use this format: -fs file_spec [-nolvm -fs type] [-fsops options] [-mntopts options] [-vmtype type] To create a file system that uses a disk group or host volume, use this format: -fs file_spec [-fstype type] [-fsopts options] [-mntops options] [-hostvol file_spec] [-dg dg_name] [-vmtype type] To create a logical or host volume, use this format: [-hostvol file_spec] [-dg dg_name] [-fstype type] [-vmtype type] To create a disk group, use this format: -dg dg_name [-fstype type] [-vmtype type]
