size=<number | max | min> Parameter Specication Description
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 reconguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the recongured virtual disk. The physical disk
specication applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues in the recongured virtual disk and to any new physical disks
being added to the recongured 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>
Dierent controllers support dierent stripe sizes. For more information on stripe sizes supported for a controller, see the OpenManage
Online Help. All stripe sizes are specied in kilobytes. For example, when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type: stripesize=128kb
