Dell 32XX, 34XX, 38XX, 36XX manual Syntax Parameters, ReservePhysicalDiskCount

disks supported on the storage array or the maximum size allowed by the model. iSCSI units have a limit of 256 TB and SAS and Fibre Channel units have a limit of 1024 TB.

NOTE: If you enter a list of physical disks, ensure that all of the physical disks have the same capacity. If the physical disks do not have the same capacity, each physical disk in the disk pool reports capacity equal to the smallest physical disk.

Parameter	Description
physicalDisks	The physical disks you want to assign to the disk
	pool. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99; drawer ID
	values are 0 to 4; slot ID values are 0 to 31.
	NOTE: A disk pool must contain at least 11
	physical disks.
physicalDiskType	Physical disk type value is sas. Enclose the
	physical disk type values in parentheses. If the
	physical disk type is specified, then all of the
	unassigned physical disks of that type that are
	compatible with each other are used for the
	creation of the disk pool.
physicalDiskCount	The physicalDiskCount parameter limits the
	disk pool candidates to the given number. Use this
	parameter only when the physicalDiskType
	parameter is specified.
reservePhysicalDiskCount	The default value is automatically determined by
	the RAID controller module. This value is specified
	in terms of the number of physical disks to reserve
	in the disk pool for physical disk failures or physical
	disk removals.
