Dell PowerVault MD3000i Cli Manual page 225

The command in this example creates a new virtual disk in disk group 1. The
virtual disk has a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) level of 5. The
virtual disk name (user label) is 7. (Note the quotation marks around the 7.
The quotation marks indicate that the information in the marks is a label.)
The new virtual disk is assigned to the RAID controller module in slot 0 in the
RAID enclosure. The segment size is set to 16.
The following syntax is the general form of the command:
create virtualDisk diskGroup= diskGroupNumber
userLabel=" virtualDiskName" [freeCapacityArea=
freeCapacityIndexNumber ] [capacity=
virtualDiskCapacity | owner=(0 | 1) | segmentSize=
segmentSizeValue ]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
The general form of the command shows the optional parameters in a
different sequence than the optional parameters in the example. You can
enter optional parameters in any sequence. You must enter the required
parameters in the sequence shown in the command descriptions.
The line show "Setting additional attributes for virtual disk 7" is another
example of using the show string command. This command is placed here to
tell you that the create virtualDisk command ran successfully. In addition,
properties that could not be set by the create virtualDisk command are
now set.
The set virtualDisk command parameters are shown on separate lines. You do
not need to use separate lines for each parameter. You can enter more than
one parameter with the set virtualDisk command by leaving a space between
the parameters.
By using separate lines, however, you can more clearly see what parameters
you are setting and the values to which you are setting the parameters.
Blocking the parameters in this manner makes it easier to edit the file or copy
specific parameter settings for use in another script file.
