warning by using the force=yes parameter. In this case, the syntax is
as follows:
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=id force=yes
Example to Reset the configuration on controller 1.

omconfig Create Virtual Disk
The Dell OpenManage Online Help provides additional information about creating virtual disks.
The omconfig syntax for creating a virtual disk has several parameters. You must specify the following
parameters:
• Controller (controller=id)
• RAID level (raid=<c| r0 | r1 | r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60>
• Size (size=<number | max | min>)>
Physical disk is specified as either:
• For SCSI, SATA, and ATA controllers:
pdisk=connector:enclosureID:targetID
where connector:enclosureID:targetID is the connector number, enclosure number, and slot number.
• For SAS controllers:
pdisk=connector:targetID
where connectorID:targetID is the connector number and the slot number. For example, pdisk=0:2
Storage Management supplies default values for any of the other parameters that you do not specify.
For creating an encrypted virtual disk, specify secureflag=yes. You can create encrypted virtual disks
only with SED drives.
Complete Syntax:
omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=id raid=<c| r0 | r1 |
r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60>size=<number | max | min> pdisk=<PDISKID>
[stripesize=stripesize=< 2kb| 4kb| 8kb| 16kb| 32kb| 64kb | 128kb>]
[cachepolicy=<d | c>] [diskcachepolicy=<disabled | enabled>][readpolicy=<ra |
nra | ara | rc | nrc>] [writepolicy=<wb| wt| wc| nwc | fwb>] [name=<string>]
[spanlength=<n>] | [secureflag=yes][vdpienabled=yes]
NOTE: If you are configuring RAID for SAS controllers with firmware version 6.1 and later,
spanlength is an optional parameter (default=2). Spanlength is an even number and is lesser
than or equal to half the number of physical disks specified in size.
NOTE: The vdpienabled is an optional argument and is valid only on PERC9 controllers. If set to
yes a T10 Protection Information (PI) enabled virtual disk is created.
