Hi,  Is this perhaps the command you are looking for to create a meta all in one command:  symconfigure -sid XXX -cmd "create dev count=1, size=262080 cyl, meta_member_size=65520 cyl, meta_config=striped, config=tdev, emulation=fba, binding_to_pool=FC_Pool;" commit  This command will create a single device that is ~240GB in size and create it with meta members that are ~60GB in size, so that the end result will be the creation of 4 new TDEVs bound to the FC_Pool and formed into a meta automatically for you to start using (it will give you the meta head in the output of the CLI command).  An alternative to this can be achieved by enabling and using the autometa feature. Here is some info on that as well in case that is the route you would like to try:  [URL]  Or you can look at the Solutions Enabler Array Controls Guide on support.emc.com under "Automatic Metadevice Creation" and it will provide the details and commands to enable it on the array so you can understand how it will impact future meta-device creations.  HTH,  -Keith
I really like the way that Unisphere can create a TDEV META volume for you using new volumes.However, I find it mind-numbingly slow.  Is there a way to do the same thing using SYMCLI?  I know you can form meta from devices, or you can add meta devices into a head - but all of these require you knowing the META head and META member device ID's, whereas Unisphere gets around that for you.  Any suggestions please?
