8.5 Method: DCIM_RAIDService.CreateVirtualDisk ()
The CreateVirtualDisk () method is used to create a single virtual disk on the targeted controller. The
successful execution of this method results in a pending but not yet created virtual disk. The ObjectStatus
property in the Virtual Disk view will have the value “PendingCreate”. The virtual disk will not be created
until a configuration job has been scheduled and the system is rebooted. Upon creation of the virtual disk
the FQDD of the formerly pending virtual disk will change.
