16.18.6 Creating a Cachecade Virtual Disk-CreateVirtualDisk()
The CreateVirtualDisk() method is used to create a Cachecade virtual disk on the targeted
controller. This method internally creates a RAID-0 virtual disk.The creation process is the same as
explained in Section 16.18.5. In this scenario, CreateVirtualDisk() method only takes
VDPropNameArray-VDPropValueArray pairs mentioned below.
Invoke CreateVirtualDisk() with the following parameters and syntax:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the DCIM_ControllerView (Section 16.7)
PDArray: This parameter is the list of physical disk FQDDs that is used to create a virtual Disk.
VDPropNameArray: This parameter is the list of property names that is used to create a
virtual disk. The parameter list has the following names:
VirtualDiskName, CacheCade
VDPropValueArray: This parameter is the list of property values that is used to create a virtual
Disk. The property values are for the property names listed under VDPropNameArray .
VirtualDiskName: Name of the virtual disk (1-15 character range)
Cachcade: The valid input value is 1. (required)
