Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

physicalDiskCount

Number of unassigned physical disks to use in the disk group.

 

NOTE: The physicalDiskCount parameter enables you

 

to choose the number of physical disks to use in the disk

 

group. You do not need to specify the physical disks by

 

enclosure ID and slot ID. The RAID controller modules

 

choose the specific physical disks to use for the disk group.

diskGroupUserLabel

The alphanumeric identifier (including – and _) that you want to

 

give the new disk group. Enclose the disk group identifier in

 

double quotes (" ").

raidLevel

RAID level of the disk group that contains the virtual disk. Valid

 

values are 0, 1, 5 or 6.

userLabel

Name to give to the new virtual disk. You must put quotation

 

marks (" ") around the new virtual disk name.

physicalDiskType

Specifies the type of physical disk to use in the virtual disk. You

 

cannot mix physical disk types in the virtual disk. The valid

 

physical disk type is SAS.

capacity

The size of the virtual disk that you are adding to the storage

 

array. Size is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB.

 

NOTE: A space must be added between the last digit and

 

the size (bytes, KB, MB, or GB) for values greater than 9. If

 

you do not specify a capacity, all the available physical disk

 

capacity in the disk group is used. If you do not specify the

 

capacity unit, bytes is used as the default unit.

owner

The RAID controller module that owns the virtual disk. Valid

 

RAID controller module identifier values are 0 and 1. The

 

identifier value is 0 for the RAID controller module on the top

 

and 1 for the RAID controller module on the bottom when

 

viewed from the rear of the enclosure. If you do not specify an

 

owner, the RAID controller module firmware determines the

 

owner.

 

NOTE: The owner parameter defines which RAID controller

 

module owns the virtual disk.

cacheReadPrefetch

The setting to turn on or turn off cache read prefetch. To turn

 

off cache read prefetch, set this parameter to FALSE. To turn on

 

cache read prefetch, set this parameter to TRUE.
