Controller=id
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 162. 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> Parameter
The following table displays how to specify the size=<number | max | min>
Table 163. 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 a 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.
stripesize=< 2kb | 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb | 128kb>
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
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
Use this parameter to specify the physical disks to be included in the virtual disk.
