2. Check that the PERC H810 Adapter has 48 3TB disks available.
[root@nfs-dfc]# omreport storage pdisk controller=1
Disks will be numbered 0:0:0 to 0:0:11, 0:1:0 to 0:1:11, 0:2:0 to 0:2:11 and 0:3:0 to 0:3:11 in the
format <connector:enclosureID:portID>
3. Create a RAID 60 virtual disk with spanlength of 12 and stripe size of 512KB on the PowerVault
MD1200s.
[root@nfs-dfc]# omconfig storage controller controller=1
action=createvdisk raid=r60 size=max stripesize=512kb spanlength=12
pdisk=0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3,0:0:4,0:0:5,0:0:6,0:0:7,0:0:8,0:0:9,0:0:1

4. Check that the virtual disk has finished initializing and is ready. This can take several hours. Double
check the size of the device (110TB) and note the device name (/dev/sdc) from the command
below.
[root@nfs-dfc ~]# omreport storage vdisk controller=1
