A.37 create FileSystem

Creates an OCFS2 file system on a physical disk on a file server.

Syntax

create FileSystem physicalDisk=value name=value [ description=value ] on FileServer instance

Where instance is:

{ id=value | name=value }

Description

This command creates an OCFS2 file system on a physical disk on a file server. When creating a file system on an NFS file server, you can use the file server itself to create the file system. When creating an OCFS2 file system on a LUN, you should use a local file server on an Oracle VM Server that has access to the LUN to create the file system. See Section 7.2, “To create a storage repository on a storage array” for an example.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`physicalDisk=value`	The name or ID of the physical disk on which to create the OCFS2 file system.
`name=value`	A name for the file system.
`description=value`	Optional description for the file system. `value` is a maximum of 4,000 characters.
{ `id=value` \| `name=value` }	The instance of the object using either the `id` or `name` option, for example `name=MyFileSystem`.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
