Post subject:  unable to create cpg on new drives
We got 12 new 8TB drives and as there a different drive size to the other NL drives in the system I would like to create a CPG just for the 8TB.

Doesn't make sense to me? It's really anoying the SMMC doesn't have disk filter options like the old HP 3PAR Managment Console.

But either way I can't get my CPG created.

With 3.3.1 it should work. With 3.2.2 you don't have Express Layout on NL drives and need 20 drives to create LDs with setsize 10.

we are running 3.3.1
changing the set size to 6 doesn't help

Wasn't sure if showspace could like that.
Doing a statement for all NL works fine.

I've only had to filter on type (FC/NL) before and don't have a system that uses that anymore alas but have you tried using the disk size filters instead? If it works it means any later replacements or additions with a newer model will be covered.
