omconfig Format Virtual Disk 
Use the following omconfig command syntax to format a virtual disk. 
Complete Syntax 
omconfig storage vdisk action=format controller=id vdisk=id 
where id is the controller ID and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain these 
values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage 
vdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller. 
Example Syntax 
For example, to format virtual disk 4 on controller 1, enter: 
omconfig storage vdisk action=format controller=1 vdisk=4 
omconfig Reconfiguring Virtual Disks 
You can reconfigure a virtual disk in order to change the virtual disk’s RAID level or increase its size by 
adding array disks. On some controllers, you can also remove array disks.
Complete Syntax 
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=id vdisk=id 
raid=<c| r0| r1| r1c| r5| r10> size=<size> adisk=<ADISK> 
Example Syntax 
For example, to reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800 MB, use RAID 5 and array disks 0 through 3 on 
connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the array disks reside in enclosure 2. 
Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers: 
In this example, enter: 
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=
r5 size=800m adisk=0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3 
Example for SAS Controllers: 
In this example, enter: 
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=
r5 size=800m adisk=0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3
