Creating Virtual Disks

Table 4-4 lists the RAIDCFG options, parameters, and predefined arguments for creating virtual disks.

NOTE: If you create a virtual disk on Windows PE, you need to reboot your system.

NOTE: On CERC SATA 1.5/2S, CERC SATA 1.5/6CH, and SAS 5/iR controllers, use the entire array disk to create

a virtual disk.
