size=<number | max | min> Parameter Specification Description
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 OpenManage
Online Help. All stripe sizes are specified in kilobytes. For example, when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type: stripesize=128kb

parameter for each of the read policies.
