Parameters

Parameter

Description

physicalDisks

The physical disks you want to assign to the disk pool.
Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99; drawer ID values are 0 to
4; slot ID values are 0 to 31.

NOTE: A disk pool must contain at least 11 physical
disks.

physicalDiskType

Physical disk type value is sas. Enclose the physical disk
type values in parentheses. If the physical disk type is
specified, then all of the unassigned physical disks of that
type that are compatible with each other are used for the
creation of the disk pool.

physicalDiskCount

The physicalDiskCount parameter limits the disk
pool candidates to the given number. Use this parameter
only when the physicalDiskType parameter is
specified.

reservePhysicalDiskCount

The default value is automatically determined by the
controller. This value is specified in terms of the number of
physical disks to reserve in the disk pool for physical disk
failures or physical disk removals.

warningThreshold

The percentage of storage capacity at which you receive
a warning alert that the disk pool is nearing full capacity.
Use integer values. For example, a value of 60 means 60
percent. The default value is 50.
Setting this parameter to 0 disables warning alerts.
If you set this to default, the warning alert threshold

value is determined by the controller firmware.

criticalPriority

The default value is highest.

backgroundPriority

The default value is low.

securityType

The setting to specify the security level when creating the
disk pool. All virtual disk candidates for the disk pool have
the specified security type. These settings are valid:

none—The virtual disk candidates are not

secure.

capable—The virtual disk candidates are

capable of having security set, but security has

not been enabled.

enabled—The virtual disk candidates have

security enabled.

The default value is none.
