Parameter specification for creating and reconfiguring virtual disk
The following table displays how to specify the omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk
parameters:
Table 91. Parameters And Types
Parameters Type
controller=id Required
raid=<c | r0 | r1 | r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60> Required
size=<number | max | min> Required
pdisk=<connector:targetID,connector:targetID,.....

Required
[stripesize=<2k b| 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb |
128kb>]
Optional
[cachepolicy=<d | c>] Optional
[readpolicy=<ra | nra | ara | rc | nrc>] Optional
[writepolicy=<wb | wt | wc | nwc | fwb>] Optional
[name=<string>] Optional
[spanlength=<n>] parameter Optional
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 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, see the Dell OpenManage Online Help. The
following table displays how to specify the raid=n parameter for each RAID level.
Table 92. Raid level and parameter specification

RAID-1 raid=r1
RAID-5 raid=r5
RAID-6 raid=r6
RAID-10 raid=r10
RAID-50 raid=r50
