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 156. Raid level and parameter specification
RAID Level raid=n Parameter Specification
RAID-0 raid=r0
RAID-1 raid=r1
RAID-5 raid=r5
RAID-6 raid=r6
RAID-10 raid=r10
RAID-50 raid=r50
RAID-60 raid=r60
size=<number | max | min>
The following table displays how to specify the size=<number | max | min>
Table 157. Size Parameter
size=<number | max | min> Parameter Specification Description
size=<n> Use this specification to indicate a specific size for the virtual
disk. The virtual disk size is specified in b (bytes), m
(megabytes), or g (gigabytes). For example, size=500m
indicates that the virtual disk is 500 MB.
size=max To create a virtual disk that is the maximum size possible,
specify size=max. When creating an RAID-50 virtual disk, this
parameter is specified as size=max.
size=min To create a virtual disk that is the minimum size possible, specify
size=min.
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
Use this parameter to specify the physical disks to be included in the virtual disk.
When reconfiguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the reconfigured virtual disk. The physical disk
specification applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues 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, do not specify to remove the physical disk.
The pdisk=<PDISKID> parameter indicates a physical disk by specifying either connector:enclosureID:targetID or connector:targetID.
stripesize=<2kb | 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb | 128kb>
Different controllers support different stripe sizes. For more information on stripe sizes supported for a controller, see the Dell
OpenManage Online Help. All stripe sizes are specified in kilobytes. For example, when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type:
stripesize=128kb
cachepolicy=<d | c>] parameter
