createvd
Table 19. createvd
Description
Creates a virtual disk based on the specication 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 rst slice virtual disk creation before running
the second slice virtual disk command.
Synopsis
racadm raid createvd:<Controller FQDD> -rl {r0|r1|r5|r6|r10|r50|r60} [-wp {wt|
wb|fwb}] [-rp {nra|ra|ara}]
[-ss {1k|2k|4k|8k|16k|32k|64k|128k|256k|512k|1M|2M|4M|8M|16M}] -pdkey:<comma
separated PD FQDD>
[-dcp {enabled|disabled|default}] [-name <VD name>] [-size <VD size>{b|k|m|g|
t}] [-cc]
[-sc {span count}] {-current|-pending} [-vdinit {yes|no}] [-secure {yes|no}]
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.
• default: Default – Use the default cache policy. SAS Drives - Use Disabled by Default. SATA Drives - Use
Enabled by Default.
• –name: <VD name>: The name to give the VD.
• –size: <VD size>: The size of the VD.
• b: Specify the size in bytes.
