Read Policy readpolicy=ra | ara | nra | rc | nrc Parameter Specication
No read cache readpolicy=nrc
writepolicy=<wb | wt | wc | nwc>]
Dierent controllers support dierent write policies. The following table displays how to specify the writepolicy=<wb | wt | wc | nwc
| fwb> parameter for each of the write policies.
Table 164. Write Policy Parameters
Write Policy writepolicy=wb | wt | wc | fwb | nwc Parameter Specication
Write-back cache writepolicy=wb
Write-through cache writepolicy=wt
Write cache writepolicy=wc
Force write back writepolicy=fwb
No write cache writepolicy=nwc
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. 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 EMC OpenManage Online Help. The following table displays how to specify the raid=n parameter for each
RAID level.
Table 165. 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> Parameter
The following table displays how to specify the size=<number | max | min>
Table 166. 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 a RAID-50 virtual disk, this parameter
is specied as size=max.
