tier command
Purpose
Performs the tier-related operations in a shared storage pool.
Syntax
To create a tier in a shared storage pool:
tier -create [-clustername ClusterName] [-sp StoragePool] -tier TierName: PhysicalVolume ...
To create a tier in a shared storage pool, by passing physical volumes in a file:
tier -create [-clustername ClusterName] [-sp StoragePool] -file -tier TierName: FileName
To remove a tier from the shared storage pool:
tier -remove [-clustername ClusterName] [-sp StoragePool] -tier TierName
To modify the properties of a tier in a shared storage pool:
tier -modify [-clustername ClusterName] [-sp StoragePool] -tier TierName -attr Attribute=Value
To list tiers in a shared storage pool:
tier -list [-clustername ClusterName] [-sp StoragePool] [-verbose | -field FieldName ...] [-fmt delimiter [-header]]

Examples
- To create a tier, type the following command:
tier –create –tier prod_tier: hdisk3 hdisk4
The system displays the output as follows:
'prod_tier’ tier has been created successfully.
- To create a tier with the names of the physical volume specified
in a file, type the following command:
tier –create –file –tier test_tier: pvFile
The system displays the output as follows:
'test_tier’ tier has been created successfully.
- To create a tier with the physical volume that is in use, type
the following command:
tier –create –tier test_tier2: hdisk4 hdisk5
The system displays the output as follows:
‘test_tier2’ tier has been created with lesser capacity. PV is currently in use hdisk4
- To list the tiers from a shared storage pool, type the following
command:
tier –list
The system displays the output as follows:

- To list the tiers with detailed information, type the following
command:
tier –list -verbose
The system displays the output as follows:
