CLI Guide

• r60—storage 60-Spanned Striping with Extra Parity
• -new_rl—Specifies the new possible raid level for the virtual disk
• r0—RAID0
• r1—RAID1
•
r5—RAID5
• r6—RAID6
NOTE: This is a mandatory option must provide with RLM operation. Possible raid migrations
with disk addition are R0-R1, R0-R5/R6,R1-R0/R5/R6, R5-R0/R6, R6-R0/R5. Possible raid
migrations without disk addition are R1-R0, R5-R0, R6-R0/R5.
• -wp{wt|wb|wbf}—Sets the write policy to Write Through, Write Back, or Write Back Force
• -rp {nra|ra|ara}—Sets the read policy to No Read Ahead, Read Ahead, Adaptive Read Ahead
• -ss—Specifies the stripe size to use.
• -pdkey:<PD FQDD list>—Specifies the physical disk drive to use in the virtual disk.
• -dcp—Sets the Disk Cache Policy in the Virtual Disk.
• enabled—Allows the virtual disk to use the cache.
• disabled—Does not allow the virtual disk to use the cache.
• default—Uses the default cache policy. For SAS drives, use the disabled option and for SATA drives,
use the enabled option by default.
• -name <VD name>—Specifies the name of the virtual disk.
• -size <VD size>—Specifies the size of each virtual disk.
• b—Specifies the size in bytes
• k—Specifies the size in kilobytes
• m—Specifies the size in megabytes
• g—Specifies the size in gigabytes
• t—Specifies the size in terabytes
• -sc—Number of spans in a virtual disk (required for multi-span RAID level).
NOTE:
• For PERC9, if the value of controller.SupportRAID10UnevenSpans is supported, you
can enter only 0 for this option while creating RAID level 10. The created RAID10 virtual disk
displays the spandepth as 1 (default).
• For other controllers:
• The default value for multi-span RAID levels is 2 and for basic RAID level is 1.
• For hybrid RAID levels such as RAID10, RAID50, and RAID60, this option is mandatory.
•
The value for-sc option can be 0 only for RAID10.
• -T10PIEnable—Creates a virtual disk with protection information.
• -key <Key id>—Specifies the key id.
• -passwd <passphrase>—Specifies the passphrase.
• -newpasswd <passphrase>—Specifies the new passphrase.
• -assign {yes | no}—Assigns or unassigns the disk as a hotspare.
• -type { ghs | dhs}—Assigns a global or dedicated hotspare.
• -vdkey:<VD FQDD>—Assigns the dedicated hotspare to the specified virtual disk. This option is required for
dedicated hotspare.
• -state <start|stop>—start value starts a patrol read operation. stop value stops a running patrol
read operation.
NOTE: To start the operation, the Controller.PatrolReadMode must be in Manual mode.
• -speed—Specifies the initialization of the Virtual disk.
• fast—Performs fast initialization.
• full—Performs slow initialization.
• blink: <FQDD> or unblink: <FQDD>—<FQDD> can be physical disk drives, virtual disks, or PCIeSSD.
• <PCIeSSD FQDD>—Specifies the PCIeSSD FQDD.
• <PCIeSSD controller|enclosure FQDD>—Specifies the PCIeSSD controller or enclosure FQDD.
