Arguments
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

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 -

-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:
194 RAIDCFG
