NOTE: On PERC S140, the maximum virtual disk configuration is 16 and monitoring is 30.
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. Different controllers
support different 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 159. Raid level and parameter specification
RAID Level raid=n Parameter Specification
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 Specification Description
size=<n> Use this specification to indicate a specific size for the virtual
disk. The virtual disk size is specified 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 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.
