Create RAID Virtual Disk On A Disk Pool
Description
This command creates a new RAID virtual disk on an existing disk pool.
Syntax
create virtualDisk diskPool="diskPoolName" userLabel="virtual diskName"
capacity=virtualDiskCapacity [thinProvisioned=(TRUE | FALSE)] [owner=(0|1)]
[mapping=(none|default)] [dataAssurance=(none|enabled)]
[(existingRepositoryLabel=existingRepositoryName |
[newRepositoryCapacity=newRepositoryCapacityValue (KB | MB | GB | TB | Bytes))]
[repositoryMaxCapacity=repositoryMaxCapacityValue (KB|MB|GB|TB|Bytes)]
[warningThresholdPercent=warningThresholdPercentValue]
[repositoryExpansionPolicy=(automatic|manual)] [cacheReadPrefetch=(TRUE |
FALSE)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
capacity
The size of the virtual disk that you are creating.
Size is defined in units of MB, GB, or TB. The
following are examples of the syntax:
• capacity=500MB
• capacity=2GB
thinProvisioned
This parameter enables thin provisioning for the
new virtual disk. To use thin provisioning, set this
parameter to TRUE. For no thin provisioning, set
this parameter to FALSE.
owner
The RAID controller module that owns the virtual
disk. Valid RAID controller module identifiers are 0
or 1, where 0 is the RAID controller module in slot
0, and
1 is the RAID controller module in slot 1. If
you do not specify an owner, the RAID controller
module firmware determines the owner.
mapping
This parameter enables you to map the virtual disk
to a host. If you want to map later, set this
parameter to none. If you want to map the virtual
disk now, set this parameter to default, and the
virtual disk is mapped to all hosts that have access
to the storage pool.
