- Richiedere il volume di storage desiderato:

Claimed 1 of 1 storage-volumes.
- Verificare che la richiesta del volume di storage sia riuscita:
VPlexcli:/> ll /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes
/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/storage-volumes:

- Creare un extent dai volumi di storage richiesti disponibili:
VPlexcli:/> extent create testA,Test
- Verificare che l'extent sia stato creato correttamente:
VPlexcli:/> ll /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents
/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents:
Name StorageVolume Capacity Use
------------------------------------------------ ------------------ -------- -------
extent_Test_1 Test 8.43G claimed
extent_testA_1 testA 8.43G claimed
- Creare un dispositivo locale:
VPlexcli:/> local-device create --name testA_vol --geometry raid-1 --extents /clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents/extent_testA_1,/clusters/cluster-1/storage-elements/extents/extent_Test_1 --force
- Verificare che il dispositivo locale sia stato creato correttamente:
VPlexcli:/> ll -p **/devices

Al momento, il volume virtuale viene visualizzato come non esportato, in quanto non è stato aggiunto a una visualizzazione di storage.
- Controllare le viste di storage disponibili per aggiungere il volume virtuale a:
VPlexcli:/> ll **/storage-views
/clusters/cluster-1/exports/storage-views:

- Aggiungere un volume virtuale alla vista di storage desiderata:
VPlexcli:/> export storage-view addvirtualvolume --view DELLPR510-F --virtual-volumes testA_vol_vol
- Confermare che il volume sia stato creato correttamente:
VPlexcli:/> show-use-hierarchy /clusters/cluster-1/devices/testA_vol/
