Description

This Cmdlet will help create a Storage Volume resource on a managed Storage System. The volume can be created by specifying the Storage Pool or an existing Storage Volume Template. When the Storage Pool name is not unique, you can either use the -StorageSystem parameter, or pass via the pipeline the Storage Pool from Get-OVStoragePool.

If the Storage Volume Template Global Policy is enabled, a valid Storage Volume Template must be provided.

Examples

Example 1

New-OVStorageVolume -name TestVol1 -PoolName PoolR1 -Size 60

Create a 60GB private, thin provisioned volume named "TestVol1" from the "PoolR1" Storage Pool.

Example 2

Get-OVStoragePool PoolR1 | New-OVStorageVolume -name TestVol1 PoolR1 -Size 60

Get the "PoolR1" Storage Pool resource and pipe it to create a 60GB private, thin provisioned volume named "TestVol1".

Example 3

Get-OVStoragePool PoolR1 -StorageSystem 3ParSys1 | New-OVStorageVolume -name TestVol1 -Size 60

Get the "PoolR1" Storage Pool resource and pipe it to create a 60GB private, thin provisioned volume named "TestVol1".

Example 4

New-OVStorageVolume -name TestVol1 -StoragePool PoolR1 -StorageSystem 3ParSys1 -Size 60

Create a 60GB private, thin provisioned volume named "TestVol1" from the "PoolR1" Storage Pool resource that is managed by "3ParSys1".

Example 5

$svt = Get-OVStorageVolumeTemplate SVT_120GB_R5
$New-OVStorageVolume testvol3 -volumetemplate $svt -capacity 90 | Wait-OVTaskComplete

Create a 90GB volume named "TestVol1", using the "SVT_120GB_R5" Storage Volume Template, then wait for volume to be provisioned.

-Full <SwitchParameter>

Info

This parameter is being deprecated for the -ProvisionType parameter. Please update your scripts.

Include this switch to enable Thick volume provisioning. Omit to specify Thin storage provisioning. Default: Thin

Aliases None
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-ProvisioningType <String>

Specify the type of volume to provision. Allowed values are:

  • Thin
  • Full
  • TPDD (Thin Provision Dedup) - Only available for HPE StoreServ storage systems with SSD storage pools (aka CPG"s).
Aliases ProvisionType
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-Shared <SwitchParameter>

Include this switch to mark the Storage Volume as a Shareable resource for shared volume access. Default: Private

Aliases None
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-Async <SwitchParameter>

Use this parameter to immediately return the async task. By default, the Cmdlet will wait for the task to complete.

Aliases None
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value false
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-ApplianceConnection <Object>

Specify one [HPEOneView.Appliance.Connection] object or Name property value. If Resource object is provided via Pipeline, the ApplianceConnection property of the object will be used.

Aliases None
Required? True
Position? Named
Default value (${Global:ConnectedSessions} | ? Default)
Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? False

-Scope <HPEOneView.Appliance.ScopeCollection[]>

Provide an [HPEOneView.Appliance.ScopeCollection] resource object to initially associate with. Resource can also be added to scope using the Add-OVResourceToScope Cmdlet.

Aliases None
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-EnableCompression <Boolean>

Enable compression for StoreServe (3PAR) supported resources. Please verify the InformOS version installed supports Compression.

Aliases None

Enable deduplication for SSD-based Storage Pools (CPG).

Aliases None
Required? False
Position? Named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? False

-CachePinning <Bool>

This is applicable for hybrid (a mix of flash and mechanical storage) arrays, and provides a 100 percent cache hit rate for specific volumes (for example, volumes dedicated to critical applications), and delivers the response times of an all-flash storage system. A volume is pinned when the entire active volume is placed in cache; associated snapshot (inactive) blocks are not pinned. All incoming data after that point is pinned. The number of volumes that can be pinned is limited by the size of the volumes and amount of available cache.

When defined in the Performance Profile, select to enable Cache Pinnning for the Nimble volume to be created.
