-sp
or
spanlength
<number> Creates a virtual disk comprised of the properties
supplied. The -sp option is optional and can be the
added to the command line in any order after the
mandatory option combination.
NOTE: Spanlength is applicable only for RAID 50. The
minimum permissible spanlength value is 3. The number
of array disks for creating a virtual disk should not be a
prime number and should be divisible by the specified
spanlength.
For SCSI controllers, the value of lun should always be 0.
For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be
non-zero, in which case you need to specify values for
channel, target, and enclosure.

-ssz
or
stripesize
<number> Sets the stripe size for the virtual disk. The stripe size
is the amount of array disk space used on each array disk
included in the stripe. A valid argument is a number that
is less than the size of the virtual disk. The -ssz option is
optional and can be added to the command line in any
order after the mandatory option combination. However,
do not specify a unit for stripe size when creating virtual
disks. The unit is always displayed in KB.
For SCSI controllers, the value of lun should always be 0.
For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be
non-zero, in which case you need to specify values for
channel, target, and enclosure.

-str
or
strict
<number> Strict (-str parameter) is the percentage of expected
array disk utilization.
Example:
A: raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=0 -ad=0:0,0:1 -r=1 -str=20
If the unused portion of an array disk is greater than
the above percent, raidcfg will abort.
For SCSI controllers, the value of lun should always
be 0.
For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be
non-zero, in which case you need to specify values for
channel, target, and enclosure.
