8.9.2 Create the MDisk groupWe must create volumes on the <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>and</strong> map them to the SVC cluster. Presuming that wehave done this, we then detect them on the SVC, as shown in Example 8-34.Example 8-34 Detecting new MDisks <strong>and</strong> creating an MDisk group<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask detectmdisk<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdiskc<strong>and</strong>idateid910111213<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdisk -filtervalue mode=unmanagedid name status mode capacity ctrl_LUN_# controller_name9 mdisk9 online unmanaged 1520.0GB 0000000000000007 <strong>XIV</strong>10 mdisk10 online unmanaged 1520.0GB 0000000000000008 <strong>XIV</strong>11 mdisk11 online unmanaged 1520.0GB 0000000000000009 <strong>XIV</strong>12 mdisk12 online unmanaged 1520.0GB 000000000000000A <strong>XIV</strong>13 mdisk13 online unmanaged 1520.0GB 000000000000000B <strong>XIV</strong>We then create an MDisk group called <strong>XIV</strong>_Target using the new <strong>XIV</strong> MDisks (with the sameextent size as the source group, in this example 256), as shown in Example 8-35.Example 8-35 Creating an MDisk group<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask mkmdiskgrp -name <strong>XIV</strong>_Target -mdisk 9:10:11:12:13 -ext 256MDisk Group, id [2], successfully createdWe confirm that the new MDisk group is present.
