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:
  1. You must restart your computer after you process this DS CLI command to assign a new serial number.
  2. 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.
