Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

capacity

The size of the virtual disk that you are creating.

 

Size is defined in units of MB, GB, or TB. The

 

following are examples of the syntax:

 

capacity=500MB

 

capacity=2GB

thinProvisioned

This parameter enables thin provisioning for the

 

new virtual disk. To use thin provisioning, set this

 

parameter to TRUE. For no thin provisioning, set

 

this parameter to FALSE.

owner

The RAID controller module that owns the virtual

 

disk. Valid RAID controller module identifiers are 0

 

or 1, where 0 is the RAID controller module in slot

 

0, and 1 is the RAID controller module in slot 1. If

 

you do not specify an owner, the RAID controller

 

module firmware determines the owner.

mapping

This parameter enables you to map the virtual disk

 

to a host. If you want to map later, set this

 

parameter to none. If you want to map the virtual

 

disk now, set this parameter to default, and the

 

virtual disk is mapped to all hosts that have access

 

to the storage pool.

 

The default option is none.

warningThreshold

Valid values are from 1 to 100.

 

The default value is determined by the RAID

 

controller module firmware.

 

Setting this parameter to 100 disables warning

 

alerts.

repositoryExpansionPolicy

Valid values are automatic and manual.

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.

segmentSize

Amount of data (in kilobytes) that the RAID

 

controller module writes on a single physical disk

 

in a virtual disk before writing data on the next

 

physical disk. Valid values are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,
