keyFile Required The encrypted key file (this is specified instead of the username and password

parameters)

description Optional Optional description

replication Optional The replication level for the volume (1|2|3|4)

minReplication Optional The minimum replication allowed for the volume before it goes offline (1|2|3|4).

Note: the minReplication value must be equal to or less than the replication value on the

volume.

parity Optional The number of parity storage systems for the data on this volume. This enables parity

network RAID on the volume. Replication and parity are supported in the following

combinations: replication:1, parity:0 Network RAID-0 (None), replication:2, parity:0

Network RAID-10 (2-way Mirror), replication:3, parity:0 Network RAID-10+1 (3-way

Mirror), replication:4, parity:0 Network RAID-10+2 (4-way Mirror), replication:2,

parity:1 Network RAID-5 (Single parity), replication:3, parity:2 Network RAID-6 (Dual

Parity)

checkSum Optional 0 - the volume does not use checksums1 - the volume uses checksums

thinProvision Optional 0 - the volume does not use thin-provisioning1 - The volume is thin-provisioned (in a

thinly provisioned volume, reserve may be < length)

initialQuota Optional The initial quota for the volume, as a percentage or size - the volume resets to this initial

size when a snapshot is taken

reserveQuota Optional The reserve quota for the volume, as a percentage or size - this is the size guaranteed to

be available for this volume, regardless of space allocated to other objects in the system

scratchQuota Optional The scratch quota for the volume, as a percentage or size - this is the size guaranteed to

be available for snapshots of this volume, regardless of space allocated to other objects

in the system

stridePages Optional This is the initial stride setting for the volume - this must be a power of 2 (1,2,4,8)

autogrowSeconds Optional The amount to grow the volume when it is thin-provisioned and new pages must be

added, based on the current growth rate - a value of 0 means no autogrow

clusterName Optional The name of the cluster

size Optional The size of the volume, with units specified: <n>MB - n Megabytes (1024 Kilobytes),

<n>GB - n Gigabytes (1024 Megabytes), <n>TB - n Terabytes (1024 Gigabytes)

friendlyName Optional This is an optional field used internallyWARNING: Using an initialQuota, stridePages

or autogrowSeconds value other the the default may impact application server

performance. minReplication values of 3 and 4 are experimental and have not been

fully regression tested. Use at your own risk.
