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.


size=<number | max | min> Parameter (Required)

The following table indicates how to specify the size=<number | max | min> parameter.


pdisk=<PDISKID> (Required)

pdisk=<PDISKID>

where:

PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:portID | connector:targetID>

Use this parameter to specify the physical disks that will be included in the virtual disk.

When reconfiguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to be included in the reconfigured virtual disk. The physical disk specification applies to
physical disks that were in the original virtual disk and will continue to be in the reconfigured virtual disk and to any new physical disks being added to the
reconfigured virtual disk. Some controllers allow you to remove a physical disk from a virtual disk. In this case, you would not specify the physical disk to be
removed.

The pdisk=<PDISKID> parameter indicates a physical disk by specifying either connector:enclosureID:portID or connector:targetID. See "pdisk=<PDISKID>
Parameter" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on specifying physical disks.

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.
