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. Dierent controllers
support dierent 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 specication
RAID Level raid=n Parameter Specication
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 Specication Description
size=<n> Use this specication to indicate a specic size for the virtual
disk. The virtual disk size is specied 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 specied 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 reconguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the recongured virtual disk. The physical disk
specication applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues in the recongured virtual disk and to any new physical
disks being added to the recongured 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>
Dierent controllers support dierent stripe sizes. For more information on stripe sizes supported for a controller, see the Dell
OpenManage Online Help. All stripe sizes are specied in kilobytes. For example, when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type:
stripesize=128kb
cachepolicy=<d | c>] parameter
160
