controller=id Parameter (Required)

Specify the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command. For example:

controller=2

raid=<c r0 r1 r1c r5 r10 r50> Parameter (Required)

Use the raid=<c r0 r1 r1c r5 r10 r50> parameter to specify concatenation or a RAID level for a virtual disk. Different controllers support different RAID levels. See the online help for information on the RAID levels a controller supports and for general information about RAID levels and concatenation. The following table indicates how to specify the raid=n parameter for each RAID level

and concatenation.

RAID 10

raid=r10

RAID 50

size=<number max min> Parameter (Required)

The following table indicates how to specify the size=<number max min> parameter.

Table 8-18. Size Parameter

size=<number max min> Parameter

Description

Specification

 

 

 

size=<n>

Use this specification to indicate a specific size for the virtual

 

disk. The virtual disk size may be specified in b (bytes), m

 

(megabytes), or g (gigabytes). For example, size=500m indicates

 

that the virtual disk should be 500 MB.

size=max

To create a virtual disk that is the maximum size possible, specify

 

size=max. When creating a RAID 50 virtual disk, this parameter

 

must be specified as size=max.

size=min

To create a virtual disk that is the minimum size possible, specify

 

size=min.
