Configuration
NOTE: For any storage operation executed, creating a configuration job is needed for the operation to
be applied. Only storage operations that don't need a configuration job to apply the changes are blink/
unblink. Also supported is the ability to stack multiple storage operations for one configuration job.
Examples are execute reset config, create VD, assign hotspare and create
configuration job. For more details on creating configuration job, refer to jobqueue help
create command".

○ g—Specifies the size in gigabytes
○ t—Specifies the size in terabytes
