Dell 38XX, 34XX, 32XX, 36XX manual User-Defined Parameters

The following example is the script file version of the command:

create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk= "Mars_Spirit_4" repositoryRAIDLevel=5 repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=3;

User-Defined Parameters

Parameters for the create snapshotVirtualDisk command enable you to define the snapshot virtual disk to suit the requirements of your storage array. The following table lists the parameters and descriptions of Snapshot Virtual Disk.

Table 11. Snapshot Virtual Disk Parameters

Parameter	Description
physicalDiskType	Specifies the type of physical disk to use for the
	snapshot repository virtual disk. The type must be
	specified as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). This
	parameter works only with the count-based
	repository method of defining a snapshot virtual
	disk.
repositoryDiskGroup	Specifies the disk group in which to build the
	snapshot virtual disk. Default builds the snapshot
	repository virtual disk in the same disk group as the
	source virtual disk.
freeCapacityArea	Specifies the amount of storage space to use for
	the snapshot repository virtual disk. Free storage
	space is defined in units of bytes, kilobytes,
	megabytes, or gigabytes.
userLabel	Specifies the name to give to the snapshot virtual
	disk. If you do not choose a name for the snapshot
	virtual disk, the RAID controller modules create a
	default name using the source virtual disk name.
	For example, if the source virtual disk name is
	Mars_Spirit_4 and it does not have a snapshot
	virtual disk, the default snapshot virtual disk name
	is Mars_Spirit_4‑1. If the source virtual disk already
	has n – 1 number of snapshot virtual disks, the
	default name is Mars_Spirit_4‑n.
repositoryUserLabel	Specifies the name to give to the snapshot
	repository virtual disk. If you do not choose a name
	for the snapshot repository virtual disk, the RAID
	controller modules create a default name using the
	source virtual disk name. For example, if the source
	virtual disk name is Mars_Spirit_4 and it does not
	have an associated snapshot repository virtual disk,
	the default snapshot repository virtual disk name is
	Mars_Spirit_4‑R1. If the source virtual disk already
	has n – 1 number of snapshot repository virtual
	disks, the default name is Mars_Spirit_4‑Rn.
