====== DSCLI : create ======

=== LUN ===
If you want to create a new LUN (fbvol: fixblock volume for open systems), the default values for type is ds and eam rotateext:
<cli prompt='#'>
# mkfbvol -extpool P3 -cap 700 -name tsmsrv_0005_Df -volgrp v1 3109
</cli>

=== Volgrp ===
Create a new volume group, type is:
  * scsimask for pSeries
  * scsimap256 for Intel and AMD servers
  * os400mask for AS400
<cli prompt='#'>
# mkvolgrp -type scsimask VG_syssrv
</cli>

=== Hostconnect ===

Create a new host connection, hosttype can be: 
pSeries(scsimask), AMDLinuxRHEL(scsimap256), AMDLinuxSuse(scsimap256), LinuxDT(scsimap256), LinuxRF(scsimap256), LinuxRHEL(scsimap256), LinuxSuse(scsimap256), Novell(scsimap256), VMWare(scsimap256), Win2000(scsimap256), Win2003(scsimap256), Win2008(scsimap256), pLinux(scsimap256), iSeries(os400mask).... //for more information lshosttype -type scsiall//
<cli prompt='#'>
# mkhostconnect -wwname 10000000C9222078 -hosttype pSeries -volgrp V6 -ioport I0031,I0030,I0231,I0230,I0301,I0300,I0101,I0100 vios1_fcs0
</cli>

====== DSCLI : change / rename ======

=== LUN ===
To update the volume group on a LUN, **do not use the <replace> action into chvolgrp** command; use an add and remove instead:
<cli prompt='#'>
# chvolgrp -action add -volume 3005 V1
# chvolgrp -action remove -volume 3005 V2
</cli>

Rename a LUN
<cli prompt='#'>
# chfbvol -name tsmsrv_0000_b -quiet 3000
</cli>

Change an fbvol's extendpool (move online the lun ID 0100 to extendpool P2):
<cli prompt='#'>
# managefbvol -action migstart –extpool P2 0100
</cli>

====== DSCLI : list ======

List all host connection that aren't register into DS8000:
<cli prompt='>'>
dscli> lshostconnect -unknown
