Hi nati,

Unless you want to start complicating things I don't believe that you can do what you want with a query.

Have you tried using an enumeration instead? This also gives you the ability to not list LUN types you don't want people creating. For example you should only be using the windows type LUN unless you are dealing with Windows 2003 hosts.

Regards,

Warren

The following query for User Input Lun Type will serve what you want to achieve.. it perhaps this can be made shorter.

====

SELECT
    "solaris"
Union
SELECT
    "windows"
Union
SELECT
    "hpux"
Union
SELECT
    "xen"
Union
SELECT
    "aix"
Union
SELECT
    "linux"
Union
SELECT
    "vmware"
Union
SELECT
    "openvms"
Union
SELECT
    "hyper_v"
Union
SELECT
    "image"
Union
SELECT
    "solaris_efi"
Union
SELECT
    "windows"
Union
SELECT
    "windows_2008"
Union
SELECT
    "windows_gpt"

This case may be fine, but query has a big advantage over enum. It can be used in User Input type: Query Multi-Select i.e. where you want one or more values to be selected by the user during workflow execution.
