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 mentioned 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 as follows:
● For PERC 5 controllers:
○ RAID 0: 100 MB
○ RAID 1: 100 MB
○ RAID 5: 100 MB
● For PERC 6 controllers:
○ RAID 0: 100 MB
○ RAID 1: 100 MB
○ RAID 5: 100 MB
○ RAID 6: 100 MB
○ RAID 60: 100 MB
● For PERC 7, PERC 8, and PERC 9 controllers:
○ RAID 0: 100 MB
