The newly created volumes do not include host mappings when they are created. Host mapping can be added by clicking Volumes →  Volumes by Host window . For more information about volume host mapping, see “Mapping volumes” on page 235. 

## Creating a volume by using the CLI 

The CLI process for creating a volume is shown in Example 7-3. More or fewer parameters can be applied to the mkvdisk  command. The minimum required parameter is specified in Example 7-3.
