Create Snapshot Virtual Disk, Syntax User-Defined Physical Disks

Page 141 highlights

Parameter dssPreAllocate securityType Description The setting to make sure that reserve capacity is allocated for future segment size increases. The default value is TRUE. The setting to specify the security level when creating the disk groups and all associated virtual disks. • none-The disk group and virtual disks are not secure. • capable-The disk group and virtual disks are capable of having security set, but security has not been enabled. • enabled-The disk group and virtual disks have security enabled. For information about securityType, see "Security Type" on page 127. Create Snapshot Virtual Disk This command creates a snapshot virtual disk. When you use this command, you can define the snapshot virtual disk in one of three ways: • User-defined physical disks • User-defined disk group • User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller module firmware chooses which physical disks to use for the snapshot virtual disk. Syntax (User-Defined Physical Disks) create snapshotVirtualDisk sourceVirtualDisk="sourceVirtualDiskName" (repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 3 | 5 | 6) repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,slotID1 enclosureID2,slotID2... enclosureIDn,slotIDn)) [repositoryVolumeGroupUserLabel "repositoryDiskGroupName" enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE) Script Commands 141

Script Commands
141
Create Snapshot Virtual Disk
This command creates a snapshot virtual disk. When you use this command,
you can define the snapshot virtual disk in one of three ways:
User-defined physical disks
User-defined disk group
User-defined number of physical disks for the snapshot virtual disk
If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller module
firmware chooses which physical disks to use for the snapshot virtual disk.
Syntax (User-Defined Physical Disks)
create snapshotVirtualDisk
sourceVirtualDisk=”sourceVirtualDiskName”
(repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 3 | 5 | 6)
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,slotID1
enclosureID2,slotID2...
enclosureIDn,slotIDn))
[repositoryVolumeGroupUserLabel
”repositoryDiskGroupName”
enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)
dssPreAllocate
The setting to make sure that reserve capacity is
allocated for future segment size increases. The default
value is
TRUE
.
securityType
The setting to specify the security level when creating
the disk groups and all associated virtual disks.
none
—The disk group and virtual disks are not
secure.
capable
—The disk group and virtual disks are capable
of having security set, but security has not been
enabled.
enabled
—The disk group and virtual disks have
security enabled.
