[capacity=virtualDiskCapacity owner=(0 | 1) segmentSize=segmentSizeValue enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)] Parameters Parameter physicalDisks raidLevel userLabel Description Specifies the physical disks to assign to the created virtual disk. Specify the enclosure ID and slot ID for each unassigned physical disk to assign to the virtual disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. You must put parentheses around the enclosure ID values and the slot ID values. RAID level of the disk group that contains the virtual disk. Valid values are 0, 1, or 5. NOTE: If you set the raidLevel parameter to RAID 1, the RAID controller module firmware takes the list of physical disks and pairs them using the following algorithm: Data physical disk = X Consistency physical disk = N ⁄ 2 + X where X goes from 1 to N ⁄ 2 and N is the number of physical disks in the list. The following data show an example of six physical disks and their mirror pairs. Data Consistency 1 N ⁄ 2 + 1= 4 2 N ⁄ 2 + 1= 5 3 N ⁄ 2 + 1= 6 Name that you want to give the new virtual disk. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the new virtual disk name. NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Spaces are not allowed. Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation. Script Commands 129
