controller=id Parameter (Required)

Specify the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command. For example:

controller=2

raid=<c| r0 | r1| r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60> Parameter (Required)

Use the raid=<c|r0|r1|r5|r6|r10|r50|r60> parameter to specify concatenation or a RAID level for a virtual disk. Different controllers support different RAID
levels. See "Controller-supported RAID Levels" for information on which RAID levels a controller supports. See "Choosing RAID Levels and Concatenation" for
general information about the RAID levels and concatenation. The following table indicates how to specify the raid=n parameter for each RAID level and
concatenation.

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 500MB.
size=max
To create a virtual disk that is the maximum size possible, specify size=max. When creating a RAID 50 or RAID 60
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.
