size=<number | max | min> Parameter Specication Description
(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 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
Dierent controllers support dierent cache policies. The following table displays how to specify the [cachepolicy=<d | c>] parameter for
each of the cache policies.
Table 161. Cache Policy Parameters
Cache Policy cachepolicy=d | c Parameter Specication
Direct I/O cachepolicy=d
Cache I/O cachepolicy=c
diskcachepolicy=<disabled | enabled>
Dierent controllers support dierent disk cache policies. The following table indicates how to specify the [diskcachepolicy=<disabled |
enabled>] parameter for each of the cache policies.
Table 162. Disk Cache Policy Parameters
Disk Cache Policy diskcachepolicy=disabled | enabled Parameter Specication
Disabled diskcachepolicy=disabled
Enabled diskcachepolicy=enabled
readpolicy=ra | nra | ara | rc | nrc>
Dierent controllers support dierent read policies. The following table displays how to specify the readpolicy=<ra | nra | ara | rc | nrc>
parameter for each of the read policies.
