VV functionality using the CLI (1 of 5)

• Create a 1G fully provisioned volume named hp whose user space is allocated from CPG cpg1:
cli% createvv cpg1 hp 1G
• Create a 10G TPVV named tpvv1 whose user space is allocated from CPG cpg1, with an allocation warning of
80% and an allocation limit of 90%:
cli% createvv –tpvv –usr_aw 80 -usr_al 90 cpg1 tpvv1 10G
• The following example creates three TPVVs: vv1.2, vv1.3, and vv1.4 (zero detect enabled):
cli% createvv –tpvv –pol zero_detect -cnt 3 cpg1 vv1.2 1G
