Description
For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be
non-zero, in which case you must specify values for
channel, target, and enclosure.
-ctrl -ac=cvd -
c=id -ad=
ch:targ,ch:targ,
... [or
ch:targ:encl,...]
or

action=
createvdisk
controllerid= id
adisk=

channel:target:
lun,...
[or
channel:target:
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.
-ctrl -ac=cvd -
c=id -ad=

channel:target:
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.
-ctrl -ac=cvd -

-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
