Finding an LDEV ID

When creating volumes, the LDEV ID (LDKC: CU: LDEV) must be specified. Use this procedure to determine the LDEV IDs in use in the storage system so you can specify the correct LDEV.

Procedure

  1. Click Storage Systems, and then expand the Storage Systems tree.

  2. Click Logical Devices.

  3. In the LDEVs pane, click Create LDEVs.

  4. In the Create LDEVs window, scroll down to Initial LDEV ID and click View LDEV IDs.

  5. In the View LDEV IDs window, review the list to confirm the LDEV IDs. The LDEV IDs table shows the available, used, and disabled LDEV IDs.

    The matrix vertical scale represents the second-to-last digit of the LDEV number, and the horizontal scale represents the last digit of the LDEV number.

    In the table, used LDEV numbers appear in blue, unavailable LDEV numbers appear in gray, and unused LDEV IDs appear in white. LDEV numbers that are unavailable may be already in use, or already assigned to another emulation group (group by 32 LDEV numbers).

  6. Click Close.
