Creating DATA devices
create dev count=n,
size = n [MB | GB | CYL],
emulation=EmulationType,
config=DeviceConfig
[, attribute=
[in pool=PoolName]
[member_state= ]
(from document EMC® Solutions Enabler Symmetrix Array Controls CLI Version 7.4 ,page 80)
As per the above syntax given in SE Guide , i tried to create some DATA Devs with followinf command.
symconfigure -sid 1234 -cmd "create dev count=10,size=18414,emulation=FBA,config=RAID-5,attribute=DATADEV;" preview -v
I ended up with receiving following error.
Error occurred while Defining change number 1:
Invalid data member count supplied in create dev request see SYMAPI log file for more details
The command worked by adding data_member_count option.
symconfigure -sid 1234 -cmd "create dev count=10,size=18414,emulation=FBA,config=RAID-5,attribute=DATADEV,data_member_count=3;" preview -v
Is that a documentation error at SE Guide?
And also the above command works with/without providing a diskgroup.Any idea about the default diskgroup from where the devices will be created ,if we didn't provide the diskgroup information?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Be careful when creating DATA devices to make sure every disk in the pool has the same amount of capacity or the workload won't be even over the drives.
