Description
Sequence number of the disk group in which to create the
new virtual disk. (To determine the sequence numbers of
the disk groups in your storage array, enter the show
storageArray Profile command.)
Name for the new virtual disk. You must put quotation
marks (" ") around the new virtual disk name.
NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric
characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Spaces are not allowed. Command names can have a
maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the
maximum character limit, replace square brackets
([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this
limitation.
Index number of the free space in an existing disk group to
use to create the new virtual disk. Free capacity is defined
as the free capacity between existing virtual disks in a
disk group. For example, a disk group might have the
following areas: virtual disk 1, free capacity, virtual disk 2,
free capacity, virtual disk 3, free capacity. To use the free
capacity following virtual disk 2, specify:
freeCapacityArea=2
Use the show diskGroup command to determine if the
free capacity area exists.
Size of the virtual disk that you are adding to the storage
array. Size is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB.
NOTE: Add a space between the last digit and the size
(bytes, KB, MB, or GB) for values greater than 9. If
you do not specify a capacity, all the available
physical disk capacity in the disk group is used. If you
do not specify the capacity unit, bytes is used as the
default unit.
RAID controller module that owns the virtual disk. Valid
RAID controller module identifier values are 0 and 1. The
identifier value is 0 for the RAID controller module on the
