16.21.3 Checking the Create VD Parameters Validity-CheckVDValues()
The CheckVDValues() method is used to determine possible sizes of virtual disk as well default settings,
given a RAID level and set of disks. The VDPropArray is filled in with Size and other valuesto run the
method successfully.
Invoke CheckVDValues() with the following parameters and syntax:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the DCIM_ControllerView (Section 16.7)
PDArray: This parameter is the list of physical disk FQDDs (Section 16.9)
VDPropNameArrayIn: This parameter is the list of property names with values in the
VDPropValueArrayIn parameter
Size, RAIDLevel, SpanDepth
VDPropValueArrayIn : This parameter is the list of property values that correspond to the
VDPropNameArrayIn parameter
EXAMPLE:
wsman invoke -a CheckVDValues
