Create Disk Pool This command creates a new disk pool based on the specified parameters. You can create the disk pool by entering either a list of physical disks or a type of physical disk that you want to use for the disk pool. NOTE: If you enter a list of physical disks, ensure that all of the physical disks have the same capacity. If the physical disks do not have the same capacity, each physical disk in the disk pool reports capacity equal to the smallest physical disk.

Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99; drawer ID values are 0 to 4; slot ID values are 0 to 31. physicalDiskType Physical disk type value is sas. Enclose the physical disk type values in parentheses. If the physical disk type is specified, then all of the unassigned physical disks of that type that are compatible with each other are used for the creation of the disk pool. physicalDiskCount The physicalDiskCount parameter limits the disk pool candidates to the given number. Use this parameter only when the physicalDiskType parameter is specified. reservePhysicalDiskCount The default value is automatically determined by the controller. This value is specified in terms of the number of physical disks to reserve in the disk pool for physical disk failures or physical disk removals. warningThreshold The percentage of storage capacity at which you receive a warning alert that the disk pool is nearing full capacity. Use integer values. For example, a value of 60 means 60 percent. The default value is 50. Setting this parameter to 0 disables warning alerts. If you set this to default, the warning alert threshold value is determined by the controller firmware. 109
