Using capacity in the external storage system, you will create virtual external volumes on the primary and secondary storage systems that will be mapped to the quorum disk.

Specify external volume group (1-1) assigned to the primary storage system to create an external volume whose LDEV ID is 0x9999. Allocate all capacity in the external volume group.
```
raidcom add ldev -external_grp_id 1-1 -ldev_id 0x9999 -capacity all -IH0
```

Confirm that asynchronous command processing has completed.

raidcom get command_status -IH0
HANDLE   SSB1    SSB2    ERR_CNT        Serial#     Description
00c3        -       -          0         811111     -

Specify external volume group (1-2) assigned to the secondary storage system to create an external volume whose LDEV ID is 0x8888. Allocate all free space in the external volume group.
```
raidcom add ldev -external_grp_id 1-2 -ldev_id 0x8888 -capacity all -IH1
```

Confirm that asynchronous command processing has completed.

raidcom get command_status -IH1
HANDLE   SSB1    SSB2    ERR_CNT        Serial#     Description
00c3        -       -          0         822222     -
