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=192.0.2.3
naviseccli="/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 $3 } '` -eq '100' ]
    then
     echo "LUN CREATED"
    break
   fi
  done
echo "##### Binded Sucessfully " >>$log

########ADD LUN TO STORAGE GROUP
$naviseccli -h $emc_spA storagegroup -addhlu -gname $hostgroup -alu 10 -hlu 10
echo "LUN added to stotrage group"

########CHANGING LUN NAME
$naviseccli -h $emc_spA chglun -l 10 -name arkvsarath
echo "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
