EMC Unity - Create LUN
- Summary
- Create a new LUN on an EMC Unity array.
- Description
-
This task creates a new LUN on an EMC Unity storage array.
It is also the rollback task for Delete EMC Unity LUN. Host and Snapshot schedule association are optional.
LUN can be associated to Host with three possible options, LUN, Snapshot, and LUN & Snapshots.
You can provide HLU number for the LUN while creation only when host mapping is selected.
If given HLU is already used on any of the selected Host, LUN creation will fail.
For Access Type option, LUN and Snapshot, two HLU are required in comma separated value(eg 0,1).
HLU should be between 0 and 16381.
If hlu is not given, System will allocate next available HLU for the LUN.
Input Format:
- EMC Unity Account Name: podName@AccountName. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid
- EMC Unity Storage Pool: PodName@accountName@storagePoolName@storagePoolId. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid@Pool1@pool_7
- Name: Valid LUN Name - The following special characters are not allowed: " % & ' * + . / \ : ; < = > ? ^ @ | ,
- Size: Size of the LUN. For example: 2
- Capacity Units: The unit for the Size of the LUN. For example: 2GB,MB or TB
- Description: Valid Description
- Default Node: Select the Storage Processor
- Thin: Check box- Indicates whether to enable thin provisioning for LUN
- Snapshot Schedule: Select the schedule you to associate to LUN-Snapshot schedule settings for the LUN
- Snapshot Schedule Paused: Check box- Indicates whether the Snapshot Schedule is paused or not
- Access Hosts: podName@AccountName@hostName@hostID. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid@TestHost@Host_1
- Access Type: Possible values are LUN, Snapshot, LUN and Snapshot. Required only when Access Hosts input is selected
- HLU: HLU number of LUN. Required only when Access Hosts input is selected
