Parameters
- -essnetcs y | n
- (Optional) Enables or disables the storage complex ESSNet user interface
to invoke Copy Services operations for the storage image. y (yes) is
the default.
- -volgrp volume_group_ID
- (Optional)
- When the -essnetcs y parameter is used, the -volgrp parameter
specifies the ESSNet Copy Services type volume group that contains the logical
volumes that are eligible for controll by Copy Services operations. If the -essnetcs y parameter
and the volume group ID are not specified, then all logical volumes are eligible
for controll by Copy Services operations.
- The -volgrp parameter accepts a fully qualified volume group ID
including the storage image ID or a shortened version. The shortened version
is a four-digit decimal number with no leading zeros, prefixed with the letter V.
- -desc new_si_description
- (Optional) Specifies the description that you assign to the storage image.
The description is limited to 256 byte or 128 double-byte characters.
- -name new_si_name
- (Optional) Specifies the name that you assign to the storage image. The
storage image name is limited to 32 byte or 16 double-byte characters.
- -os400sn iSeries_Serial_Number
- (Optional) Specifies the new iSeries serial number.
- The serial number consists of 3 hexadecimal characters. It uniquely identifies
LUNs within a customer storage complex. It is appended to the unit serial
number that is returned by a SCSI inquiry command that is directed to each
LUN.
Notes: - You must restart your computer after you process this DS CLI command to
assign a new serial number.
- The iSeries serial number is only required when you have multiple DS****
machines with the last 3-digits of the machine serial number that overlap.
- storage_image_ID | -
- (Required) Specifies the storage image ID, which consists of the values
for manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.
- If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically
supplied.
