createvd
Table 19. createvd
Description
Creates a virtual disk based on the specification that you enter with this command.
NOTE: You can create multiple virtual disks using the script at an instance. But, ensure that there is
an interval of about 30 seconds to facilitate completion of the first slice virtual disk creation before
running the second slice virtual disk command.

Input
● -rl: Set the RAID Level.
● r0: RAID 0 – Striping.
● r1: RAID 1 – Mirroring.
● r5: RAID 5 – Striping with Parity.
● r6: RAID 6 – Striping with Extra Parity.
● r10: RAID 10 – Spanned Striping with Mirroring.
● r50: RAID 50 – Spanned Striping with Parity.
● r60: RAID 60 – Spanned Striping with Extra Parity.
● -wp {wt | wb | fwb}: Set the write policy to Write Through, Write Back, or Forced Write Back.
● -rp {nra|ra|ara}: Set the read policy to No Read Ahead, Read Ahead, or Adaptive Read Ahead.
● -ss: Specify the stripe size to use.
● -sc: Number of spans in the virtual disk. This value must be entered while creating spanned RAID levels
such as 10, 50, and 60.
● -pdkey: <PD FQDD list>: The PDs to use in the VD.
● -dcp: Set the Disk Cache Policy in the VD.
● enabled: Enabled – Allow the disk to use its cache.
● disabled: Disabled – Disallow the disk from using its cache.
