and arguments are ignored.
-devtype { ds | spectrum-virtualize | svc | xiv
}
Specifies the type of storage system. The following list shows the parameter values and the
storage systems that they represent.
ds: IBM
DS8000®
spectrum-virtualize: Any Storage Virtualize device
svc: IBM SAN Volume Controller
xiv: IBM XIV® Storage System
-ipip_address[;ip_address]
Specifies the IP address or host name of the clusters or nodes
that are used by the storage system.
The following storage systems use two clusters. You must specify the IP address or host name for
each cluster by using a semicolon between the addresses (for example,
192.0.2.0;192.0.2.1):
IBM
DS8000
The following storage systems use one node and require only one address or host name:
SAN Volume Controller
Storage Virtualize
The XIV and FlashSystem A9000 use multiple nodes. Specify the IP address or host name for one node and the remaining nodes are discovered automatically.
-usernameuser_name[;user_name]
Specifies the user name for the clusters or nodes.
For the following storage systems, you can provide one user name, which is used for both
clusters, or you can specify two user names. If you have separate user names, include a semicolon
between the user name for cluster 0 and cluster 1.
IBM
DS8000
For the following storage systems, provide one user name:
SAN Volume Controller
Storage Virtualize
The XIV system
Important: After you enter the parameters for the adddevice command,
you are prompted to enter the password for this user name. The password
is not displayed in the command window.
-portport[;port]
Specifies the port to use for accessing the clusters or nodes.
For the following storage systems, you can provide one port number, which is used for both
clusters, or you can provide two port numbers. If you have separate port numbers, include a
semicolon between the port for cluster 0 and cluster 1. The default port number is
2433.
IBM
DS8000
For the XIV system, provide one port number,
which is used for all nodes. The default port number is 7778.
The following storage systems do not require this parameter.
