Severity: Info

INEX is providing this information for informational purposes only. It is simply to make you aware that the command “createvlun –sublun” had been issued on this array, possibly multiple times. The messages are found in the InSplore file, “showeventlog_-d_-debug_-oneline.out”.

The “-sublun” switch is used to specify that a given 3PAR Virtual Volume should be exported as a VMware VVOL.

ESX Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) are a VMware feature which uses two levels of LUN addressing for I/O.

To see these VVOL VLUNS you will need to use the command “showvlun –sublun”.

Refer to this document for further information regarding 3PAR and VMWare Virtual Volumes:
