Create Disk Pool - Dell PowerVault MD3260 Cli Manual

Create Disk Pool

This command creates a new disk pool based on the specified parameters. You can create the disk pool by entering
either a list of physical disks or a type of physical disk that you want to use for the disk pool.
NOTE: If you enter a list of physical disks, ensure that all of the physical disks have the same capacity. If the
physical disks do not have the same capacity, each physical disk in the disk pool reports capacity equal to the
smallest physical disk.

Description
The physical disks you want to assign to the disk pool.
Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99; drawer ID values are 0 to
4; slot ID values are 0 to 31.
Physical disk type value is sas. Enclose the physical disk
type values in parentheses. If the physical disk type is
specified, then all of the unassigned physical disks of that
type that are compatible with each other are used for the
creation of the disk pool.
The physicalDiskCount parameter limits the disk
pool candidates to the given number. Use this parameter
only when the physicalDiskType parameter is
specified.
The default value is automatically determined by the
controller. This value is specified in terms of the number of
physical disks to reserve in the disk pool for physical disk
failures or physical disk removals.
The percentage of storage capacity at which you receive
a warning alert that the disk pool is nearing full capacity.
Use integer values. For example, a value of 60 means 60
percent. The default value is 50.
Setting this parameter to 0 disables warning alerts.
If you set this to default, the warning alert threshold
value is determined by the controller firmware.
