The command outputs many lines of information that scroll down in the command prompt window.
You need to use some of this information in the command line to create the shared VD.
5. Find the drive enclosure number Device ID for the system and also the Device IDs of available
physical drives for the VD you will create.
In the preceding figure, the enclosure device ID of 20 appears close to the top of the window. Use the
scroll bar to find the device IDs of the physical drives for the VD. The format of the drive IDs appears
as follows:
Physical Disk: 1
Enclosure Device ID: 20
Slot Number: 2
Drive' s position: DiskGroup: 0, Span; 0, Arm: 1
Enclosure position: 0
Device Id: 1
WWN: 5000C5001AA6F4DC
6. Create the shared VD using the enclosure and disk device IDs with the following command line
syntax:
CmdTool264 –cfgldadd –r5[20:1,20:2,20:3,20:4,20:5] WB RA direct –strpsz64 –a0
 The following notes explain the command line parameters.
 The –cfgldadd parameter configures and adds a VD (logical disk).
 The -r5 parameter selects RAID 5 as the RAID level.
 The opening and closing square brackets define the list of drives for the VD. Each drive is listed
in the form enclosure device ID: drive device ID.
 The WB parameter sets the controller to use the write cache. (Alternatively, the WT parameter
sets the controller cache for write through.)
 The RA parameter sets the controller cache for read ahead.
 The direct parameter sets direct I/O.
 The –strpsz64 parameter sets the stripe size to 64 KB.
 The -a0 parameter selects the first Intel
 The Intel® RAID High Availability Storage version of CmdTool2 creates, by default, a shared
VD that is visible to all cluster nodes.
NOTE: To create a VD that is visible only to the node that created it (such as creating a boot
volume for this cluster node), add the -exclusive parameter to the command line.
 The -a0 parameter selects the first Intel
