OPTIONS

Options that can be specified when the add operand is specified
-ipaddr ipaddr

Specify the IP address of the storage device.

-volume volume_number[,volume_number,...]

Specify the number of the volume to be set to an affinity group, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation. If multiple volume numbers are specified, use commas (",") to separate volume numbers.
For example, specify volumes 16, 17 and 18 as either "-volume 16,17,18" in decimal notation or "-volume 0x10,0x11,0x12" in hexadecimal notation.

-lun LUN_number,...

Specify the LUN number to be allocated to the volume, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation. The number of LUN numbers specified must be the same as the number of volumes specified using the -volume option, and the LUN numbers must also be listed in the same order as their corresponding volume numbers. If multiple LUN numbers are specified, use commas (",") to separate LUN numbers.
For example, specify LUN numbers 16, 17 and 18 as either "-lun 16,17,18" in decimal notation or "-lun 0x10,0x11,0x12" in hexadecimal notation.

If this option is omitted, LUN numbers will be allocated in order, starting from 0.

-affinitygroup affinitygroup_number

Specify the affinity group number to be created, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation.
For example, specify affinity group number 16 as either "-affinitygroup 16" in decimal or "-affinitygroup 0x10" in hexadecimal.

If this option is omitted, the affinity group numbers that can be created within the target storage device will be allocated automatically.

-name alias_name

Specify an alias for the affinity group to be created. This option is required for ETERNUS2000, but can be omitted for ETERNUS4000 and ETERNUS8000. If this option is omitted, an alias will not be set up.

Only alphanumeric characters (a to z, A to Z and 0 to 9) and the following symbols can be used for aliases: !@#$%^&*()-= `_+|~[]{};:'"./<>?. If the alias contains a space, enclose the entire alias in double quotes (e.g., -name "123 567").

-csv

Displays the created affinity group number in the CSV format. When this option is omitted, it is displayed in the table format.

Options that can be specified when the delete operand is specified
-ipaddr ipaddr

Specify the IP address of the storage device.

-affinitygroup affinitygroup_number

Specify the number of the affinity group to be deleted, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation.
For example, specify affinity group number 16 as either "-affinitygroup 16" in decimal or "-affinitygroup 0x10" in hexadecimal.

For example, specify affinity group number 16 as either "-affinitygroup 16" in decimal or "-affinitygroup 0x10" in hexadecimal.

-add

Adds volumes in the affinity group.
When the number for the allocated volume/LUN is specified, this command terminates abnormally.

-delete

Deletes volumes from an affinity group.
The command will terminate abnormally if a volume number or LUN number of a volume that has not been mapped is specified, or if deleting the specified mapping will mean that there are no more mappings.

-volume volume_number[,volume_number,...]

Specify the volume number of the volume to be added to or deleted from an affinity group, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation. If multiple volume numbers are specified, use commas (",") to separate volume numbers.
For example, specify volumes 16, 17 and 18 as either "-volume 16,17,18" in decimal notation or "-volume 0x10,0x11,0x12" in hexadecimal notation.

This option cannot be specified together with the -lun option when deleting volumes from an affinity group. Delete volumes by specifying either this option or the -lun option, not both together.

-lun LUN_number[,LUN_number,...]

Specify the LUN number to be allocated to a volume or released from a volume, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation. The number of LUN numbers specified must be the same as the number of volumes specified using the -volume option, and the LUN numbers must also be listed in the same order as their corresponding volume numbers. If multiple LUN numbers are specified, use commas (",") to separate LUN numbers.
For example, specify LUN numbers 16, 17 and 18 as either "-lun 16,17,18" in decimal notation or "-lun 0x10,0x11,0x12" in hexadecimal notation.

If this option is omitted when LUN numbers are being allocated, LUN numbers will be automatically allocated, starting with the smallest free LUN number.

When LUN numbers are being released from volumes, this option cannot be specified together with the -volume option. Release LUN numbers by specifying either this option or the -volume option, but not both together.

-ipaddr ipaddr

Specify the IP address of the storage device.

-affinitygroup affinitygroup_number

Specify the number of the affinity group for which detailed information is to be displayed, using either decimal or hexadecimal notation.
