Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 176)

Parameter Description
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.
freeCapacityArea 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.
capacity 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.
owner 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 top and 1 for the RAID
controller module on the bottom when viewed
from the rear of the enclosure. If you do not
specify an owner, the RAID controller module
firmware determines the owner.
NOTE: The owner parameter defines which
RAID controller module owns the virtual disk.
The preferred RAID controller module
ownership of a virtual disk is the RAID
controller module that currently owns the disk
group.
