"virtualDiskName" [capacity=virtualDiskCapacity owner=(0 | 1) segmentSize=segmentSizeValue] [enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)] NOTE: The capacity, owner, segmentSize, and enclosureLossProtect parameters are optional. You can use one or all of the optional parameters as needed to help define your configuration. You do not, however, need to use any optional parameters. The userLabel parameter is the name to give to the virtual disk. The virtual disk name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. The maximum length of the virtual disk name is 30 characters. Spaces are not allowed. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the virtual disk name. The physicalDisks parameter is a list of the physical disks that you want to use for the disk group. Enter the enclosure ID and slot ID of each physical disk that you want to use. Put parentheses around the list. Separate the enclosure ID and slot ID of a physical disk by a comma. Separate each enclosure ID and slot ID pair by a space. For example: (0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4) The capacity parameter defines the size of the virtual disk. You do not have to assign the entire capacity of the physical disks to the virtual disk. You can later assign any unused space to another virtual disk. The owner parameter defines the RAID controller module to which you want to assign the virtual disk. If you do not specify a RAID controller module, the RAID controller module firmware determines the owner of the virtual disk. The segmentSize parameter is the same as described for the autoConfigure storageArray command. See "Using the Auto Configure Command" on page 53. The enclosureLossProtect parameter turns on or turns off enclosure loss protection for the disk group. (For a description of how enclosure loss protection works, see "Enclosure Loss Protection" on page 52.) Configuring a Storage Array 49

"
virtualDiskName
"
[capacity=
virtualDiskCapacity
owner=(0 | 1) segmentSize=
segmentSizeValue
]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
NOTE:
The
capacity
,
owner
,
segmentSize
, and
enclosureLossProtect
parameters
are optional. You can use one or all of the optional parameters as needed to help
define your configuration. You do not, however, need to use any optional
parameters.
The
userLabel
parameter is the name to give to the virtual disk. The virtual
disk name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores. The maximum length of the virtual disk name is 30 characters.
Spaces are not allowed. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the virtual
disk name.
The
physicalDisks
parameter is a list of the physical disks that you want to use
for the disk group. Enter the enclosure ID and slot ID of each physical disk
that you want to use. Put parentheses around the list. Separate the enclosure
ID and slot ID of a physical disk by a comma. Separate each enclosure ID and
slot ID pair by a space. For example:
(0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4)
The
capacity
parameter defines the size of the virtual disk. You do not have to
assign the entire capacity of the physical disks to the virtual disk. You can later
assign any unused space to another virtual disk.
The
owner
parameter defines the RAID controller module to which you want
to assign the virtual disk. If you do not specify a RAID controller module, the
RAID controller module firmware determines the owner of the virtual disk.
The
segmentSize
parameter is the same as described for the
autoConfigure
storageArray
command. See "Using the Auto Configure Command" on page 53.
The
enclosureLossProtect
parameter turns on or turns off enclosure loss
protection for the disk group. (For a description of how enclosure loss
protection works, see "Enclosure Loss Protection" on page 52.)
