Table 8-2. Syntax For Name=Value Pairs For Parameters (continued)

Syntax

Description

 

 

pdisk=<PDISKID>

Indicates a particular physical disk by specifying either connector:targetID or

 

connector:enclosureID:portID.

 

To obtain the values for the connector, enclosure, and physical disk (targetID or

 

portID), you would enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs

 

and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=id to display the IDs for the

 

physical disks attached to the controller.

battery=id

Indicates the battery ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain this

 

value, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then

 

enter omreport storage battery controller=id to display the ID for the

 

controller battery.

< >

The caret symbols (< >) enclose variable elements that you must specify.

 

For example, the name=<string> parameter might be specified as name=

 

VirtualDisk1.

[ ]

The bracket symbols ([ ]) indicate optional elements that you can choose to

 

specify or not.

 

For example, when creating a virtual disk, the [name=<string>] parameter

 

indicates that you have the option of specifying the virtual disk name. If you omit

 

this parameter from the syntax, then a default name for the virtual disk is

 

chosen for you.

The pipe symbol () separates two or more options from which one only must

 

be selected.

 

For example, when creating a virtual disk, the cachepolicy=dc indicates that the

 

cache policy must be specified as either cachepolicy=d or cachepolicy=c.
