Description :
Create a VD.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples :
racadm storage createvd:RAID.Integrated.1-1 -rl r0 -pdkey:Disk.Bay.
0:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.Integrated.1-1
• To create, delete, and secure the virtual disks.
– The following command creates a virtual disk:
racadm storage createvd:RAID.Integrated.1-1 -rl r0 -pdkey:Disk.Bay.
0:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.Integrated.1-1
– The following command starts an initialization operation on a specified virtual disk:
racadm storage init:Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1 -speed fast
– The following command deletes the specified virtual disk:
racadm storage deletevd:Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Integrated.1-1
