You can place the repository virtual disk in a disk group or a disk pool of your choosing. You are not
required to have the repository virtual disk in the same location as other repository virtual disks. To place
the repository virtual disk in a disk group or a disk pool of your choice, use the
repositoryVirtualDisk parameter and identify the disk group or the disk pool and a size for the
repository virtual disk. An example of this command usage is:
set consistencyGroup ["First_Images"] addCGMemberVolume="Data_020212"

repositoryVirtualDisk=("12" capcity=2 GB)

In this example, "12" is the name of an existing disk group or an existing disk pool. The capacity
parameter defines the size that you want for the repository disk group.
When you create a new repository virtual disk in either a disk group or a disk pool, you must include
parenthesis around the disk group name and capacity, or the disk pool name and capacity.
