(To determine the sequence numbers of the disk groups in your storage array, enter the show storageArray Profile command.) userLabel Name for 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. freeCapacityArea capacity Index number of the free space in an existing disk group to use to create the new virtual disk. Free capacity is defined as the free capacity between existing virtual disks in a disk group. For example, a disk group might have the following areas: virtual disk 1, free capacity, virtual disk 2, free capacity, virtual disk 3, free capacity. To use the free capacity following virtual disk 2, specify: freeCapacityArea=2 Use the show diskGroup command to determine if the free capacity area exists. Size of the virtual disk that you are adding to the storage array. Size is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB. NOTE: Add a space between the last digit and the size (bytes, KB, MB, or GB) for values greater than 9. If you do not specify a capacity, all the available physical disk capacity in the disk group is used. If you do not specify the capacity unit, bytes is used as the default unit. owner RAID controller module that owns the virtual disk. Valid RAID controller module identifier values are 0 and 1.
