Description
[or
channel:target
:
enclosure,...]
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 must
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 -sszoption 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 must
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 percentage, raidcfg
aborts.
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 must
specify values for channel, target, and
enclosure.

-sz or -size <number>
Sets the maximum size of the virtual disk in
MB or GB. A valid argument is a number
representing the maximum size for the virtual
disk. The -szoption is optional and can be the
added to the command line in any order after
the mandatory option combination.
The minimum virtual disk size that you can
create for various controllers is given below.
• For PERC 5 controllers:
– RAID 0: 100 MB
