virtual disk. Specify the enclosure ID and slot ID for each
unassigned physical disk to assign to the virtual disk.
Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 0
to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. You must put parentheses
around the enclosure ID values and the slot ID values.

diskGroupUserLabel

The alphanumeric identifier (including – and _) that you

raidLevel

RAID level of the disk group that contains the virtual disk.
Valid values are 0, 1, 5, or 6.

NOTE: If you set the raidLevel parameter to RAID
1, the RAID controller module firmware takes the list
of physical disks and pairs them using the following
algorithm:
Data physical disk =

X

Consistency physical disk =

N

/ 2

+ X

where,

X

goes from 1 to

N

/ 2 and

N

is the number of

physical disks in the list. The following data show an
example of six physical disks and their mirror pairs.
