Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x CLI Reference Guide

This command exposes the volume to the specified SDC, effectively creating a block device on the SDC.

For Linux devices, the scini device name may change on reboot. It is therefore recommended that you mount a mapped volume to the PowerFlex unique ID, which is a persistent device name, rather than to the scini device name.

To identify the unique ID, run the ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ command. For more information, see "Associate PowerFlex volumes with physical disks" in the Configure and Customize Dell PowerFlex.

--access_mode {read_write | read_only | no_access}
