size=<number | max | min> Parameter (Required)
The following table indicates how to specify the size=<number | max | min> parameter.
ADISKID=<connector:enclosureID:portID | connector:targetID>
Use this parameter to specify the array disks that will be included in the virtual disk.
When reconfiguring a virtual disk, you must specify all array disks to be included in the reconfigured
virtual disk. The array disk specification applies to array disks that were in the original virtual disk and
will continue to be in the reconfigured virtual disk and to any new array disks being added to the
reconfigured virtual disk. Some controllers allow you to remove an array disk from a virtual disk. In this
case, you would not specify the array disk to be removed.
The adisk=<ADISKID> parameter indicates an array disk by specifying either
connector:enclosureID:portID or connector:targetID.
stripesize=< 2kb| 4kb| 8kb| 16kb| 32kb| 64kb| 128kb>] Parameter
(Optional)
Different controllers support different stripe sizes. See the online help for information on which stripe
sizes are supported for a controller. All stripe sizes are specified in kilobytes. For example, when
specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, enter:
stripesize=128kb
RAID 10 raid=r10
RAID 50 raid=r50
RAID 1-concatenated raid=r1c
Concatenation raid=c
Table 8-18. Size Parameter
size=<number | max | min> Parameter
Specification
Description
size=<n> Use this specification to indicate a specific size for the virtual
disk. The virtual disk size may be specified in b (bytes), m
(megabytes), or g (gigabytes). For example, size=500m indicates
that the virtual disk should be 500 MB.
size=max To create a virtual disk that is the maximum size possible, specify
size=max. When creating a RAID 50 virtual disk, this parameter
must be specified as size=max.
size=min To create a virtual disk that is the minimum size possible, specify
size=min.
