size=<number | max | min> Parameter
The following table displays how to specify the size=<number | max | min>
Table 99. Size Parameter
size=<number | max | min> Parameter
Specification
Description
size=<n> Use this specification to indicate a specific size for
the virtual disk. The virtual disk size is specified in b
(bytes), m (megabytes), or g (gigabytes). For
example, size=500m indicates that the virtual disk
is 500 MB.
size=max To create a virtual disk that is the maximum size
possible, specify size=max. When creating a
RAID-50 virtual disk, this parameter is specified as
size=max.
size=min To create a virtual disk that is the minimum size
possible, specify size=min.
stripesize=< 2kb | 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb | 128kb>
stripesize=<2kb | 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb | 128kb>
Different controllers support different stripe sizes. For more information on stripe sizes supported for a
controller, see the Dell OpenManage Online Help. All stripe sizes are specified in kilobytes. For example,
when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type: stripesize=128kb
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
Use this parameter to specify the physical disks to be included in the virtual disk.
When reconfiguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the reconfigured virtual
disk. The physical disk specification applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues in
the reconfigured virtual disk and to any new physical disks being added to the reconfigured virtual disk.
