size parameter
The following table displays how to specify the size=<number | max | min>
Table 166. Size Parameter
size=<number | max | min> Parameter Specication Description
size=<n> Use this specication to indicate a specic size for the virtual disk.
The virtual disk size is specied 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
specied as size=max.
size=min To create a virtual disk that is the minimum size possible, specify
size=min.
stripesize
stripesize=<2kb | 4kb | 8kb | 16kb | 32kb | 64kb | 128kb>
Dierent controllers support dierent stripe sizes. For more information on stripe sizes supported for a controller, see the Dell EMC
OpenManage Online Help. All stripe sizes are specied in kilobytes. For example, when specifying 128 KB as the stripe size, type:
stripesize=128kb
PDISKID
PDISKID=<connector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
Use this parameter to specify the physical disks to be included in the virtual disk.
When reconguring a virtual disk, you must specify all physical disks to include in the recongured virtual disk. The physical disk
specication applies to physical disks in the original virtual disk and continues in the recongured virtual disk and to any new physical disks
being added to the recongured virtual disk. Some controllers allow you to remove a physical disk from a virtual disk. In this case, do not
specify to remove the physical disk.
The pdisk=<PDISKID> parameter indicates a physical disk by specifying either connector:enclosureID:targetID or connector:targetID.
Cachepolicy
cachepolicy=<d | c>] Parameter
Dierent controllers support dierent cache policies. The following table displays how to specify the [cachepolicy=<d | c>] parameter for
each of the cache policies.
