Creating raidgroups and binding luns using naviseccli

Question

Hello All, I was using naviseccli for creating raidgroups and binding luns to raidgroups for AX4-5 storage. the following is what i try to do  emc_spA=192.0.2.3naviseccli='/opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli'hostgroup='hostgrp' log='/tmp/$$_navi_conf.log' format_list='/tmp/format_list'storage_list='/tmp/storage_layout'echo 'done config var' $naviseccli -h $emc_spA -user admin -password xxxxxxxxx -scope 0 -addusersecurity########CREATING RAID GROUP FROM SATA DISKS$naviseccli -h $emc_spA createrg 10 0_2_0 0_2_1 0_2_2 0_2_3 0_2_4 -raidtype r5 echo 'RAID GROUP CREATED' ########BINDING LUN THE RAID GROUP $naviseccli -h $emc_spA bind r5 10 -rg 10 ########CHECKING FOR THE STATUS WHETHER THE LUN IS BOUND   state=`$naviseccli -h $emc_spA getlun 10 -state | awk ' { print $2 }'`echo '$state'; while [ '$state' = 'Binding' ];   do    status=`$naviseccli -h $emc_spA getlun 10 -bind | awk ' { print $3 } '`   echo '$status% ' \c   sleep 100 ;   if [ `$naviseccli -h $emc_spA getlun 10 -bind | awk ' { print $3 } '` -eq '100' ]    then     echo 'LUN CREATED'    break   fi  doneecho '##### Binded Sucessfully ' >>$log ########ADD LUN TO STORAGE GROUP$naviseccli -h $emc_spA storagegroup -addhlu -gname $hostgroup -alu 10 -hlu 10echo 'LUN added to stotrage group' ########CHANGING LUN NAME$naviseccli -h $emc_spA chglun -l 10 -name arkvsarathecho 'done LUN name changed' as you see from the code iam not a good programmer but now the question is it takes tooo long about 5.30 hours in total to bind the lun to the raid group and is it possible for me to add the lun to the storage group as the binding goes on and further present it to the server. the total capacity of the LUN is 3.5 TB Thanks in advance Sarath

What version of Flare is on this array? I know there is a "fast bind" feature on the CX arrays where the lun is immediately available to give to the host. I am wondering if the lun is available to be put into the storage group, but in the background it still hasn't reached that "bound" state. What state is the lun in after issuing the command for the bind? "Binding"?

5.3 hours for that size lun (depending on the rate) may be accurate.
