Description
NOTE: The ra, ara, and nra options are
supported on the following RAID controllers
only:
• PERC 5/E Adapter, PERC 5/I Integrated,
PERC 5/i Adapter
• PERC 6/i Integrated, PERC 6/i Adapter,
PERC 6/E Adapter
• rc — (Read-Caching) Enables read
caching.
• nrc — (No-Read-Caching) Disables read
caching.

-sp or spanlength <number>
Creates a virtual disk comprised of the properties
supplied. The -sp option is optional and can be
added to the command line in any order after the
mandatory option combination.
NOTE: Spanlength is applicable only for
RAID 50 and RAID 60. The minimum
permissible spanlength value for RAID 50 is
3 and for RAID 60 is 4. The number of array
disks for creating a virtual disk should not
be a prime number and should be divisible
by the specied spanlength.
NOTE: For creating RAID 10, the PERC 9
rmware suggests the layout (number of
array disks) with uneven span (spans with
unequal number of array disks), though in a
span the number of disks remain even. For
example, for 32 disks, RAID 10 is created
with all the disks in one span and for 34
disks, RAID 10 is created with 16 disks in one
span and 18 disks in the other span.
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.
