controller=id parameter
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.

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 160. 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.
