controller=id parameter
Specify the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command. For example,controller=2
raid=<c | r0 | r1 | r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60>
Use the raid=<c | r0 | r1 | r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60> parameter to specify concatenation or a RAID level for a virtual disk.
Different controllers support different RAID levels. For more information about RAID levels a controller supports and for
general information about RAID levels and concatenation, see the Dell OpenManage Online Help . The following table
displays how to specify the raid=n parameter for each RAID level and concatenation.
