ADD Unit unit-number container-name, Unit-number | Compaq HSZ80

5–27

ADD UNIT

Creates a logical unit from a device, container, or partition. The controller maps all requests from the host to the logical-unit number as requests to the container specified in the ADD UNIT command.

If you add a newly created storageset or disk to your subsystem, you must initialize it before it can be added as a logical unit. If you are adding a storageset or disk that has data on it that you want to maintain, do not initialize it; it will be added as a logical unit.

Syntax

ADD UNIT unit-number container-name

Parameters

unit-number

Assigns a number to the unit being created from a device, container, or partition in the subsystem. The host uses this number to indicate the source or target for every I/O request it sends to the controller. The unit-numberis a host-addressable LUN. The unit-numberis assigned to one of the host ports.

Containers must have units that are on a single port. Do not split partitioned units across ports.

container-name

Specifies the name of the container (disk drive, device, storageset, or partition) being used to create the unit.

A maximum of 48 devices can make up one unit.
