CLI Guide

• -name <VD name>—Specifies the name of the virtual disk.
• -size <VD size>—Specifies the size of each virtual disk.
• b—Specifies the size in bytes
• k—Specifies the size in kilobytes
•
m—Specifies the size in megabytes
• g—Specifies the size in gigabytes
• t—Specifies the size in terabytes
• -sc—Number of spans in a virtual disk (required for multi-span
RAID level).
NOTE:
• For PERC9, if the value of
controller.SupportRAID10UnevenSpans is
supported, you can enter only 0 for this option
while creating RAID level 10. The created RAID10
virtual disk displays the spandepth as 1 (default).
• For other controllers:
• The default value for multi-span RAID levels is
2 and for basic RAID level is 1.
• For hybrid RAID levels such as RAID10,
RAID50, and RAID60, this option is mandatory.
• The value for-sc option can be 0 only for
RAID10.
• -T10PIEnable—Creates a virtual disk with protection
information.
• -key <Key id>—Specifies the key id.
• -passwd <passphrase>—Specifies the passphrase.
• -newpasswd <passphrase>—Specifies the new
passphrase.
• -assign {yes | no}—Assigns or unassigns the disk as a
hotspare.
• -type { ghs | dhs}—Assigns a global or dedicated
hotspare.
• -vdkey:<VD FQDD>—Assigns the dedicated hotspare to the
specified virtual disk. This option is required for dedicated
hotspare.
• -state <start|stop>—start value starts a patrol read
operation.
stop value stops a running patrol read operation.
NOTE:
To start the operation, the
Controller.PatrolReadMode must be in Manual
mode.
• -dstpd-replaces a physical disk in virtual disk configuration.
• -vd-virtual disk fqdd to make it as a bootable drive.
• -speed—Specifies the initialization of the Virtual disk.
• fast—Performs fast initialization.
• full—Performs slow initialization.
• blink: <FQDD> or unblink: <FQDD>—<FQDD> can be
physical disk drives, virtual disks, or PCIeSSD.
• <PCIeSSD FQDD>—Specifies the PCIeSSD FQDD.
• <PCIeSSD controller|enclosure FQDD>—Specifies
the PCIeSSD controller or enclosure FQDD.
• preparetoremove—Specifies the PCIeSSD drive to prepare
for removal.
