Create RAID Virtual Disk (Manual Physical Disk Select)
This command creates a new disk group and virtual disk, and enables you to
specify the physical disks for the virtual disk.
NOTE:
You cannot use mixed physical disk types in the same disk group and virtual
disk. This command fails if you specify different types of physical disks for the RAID
virtual disk.
Syntax
create virtualDisk physicalDisks=
( enclosureID0,slotID0 ... enclosureIDn,slotIDn )

owner RAID controller module that owns the
virtual disk. Valid RAID controller module
identifiers are 0 or 1, where 0 is the RAID
controller module on the left and 1 is the
RAID controller module on the right

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.

physical disk in a virtual disk before

512. For information about the
segmentSize parameter, see "Using the
Auto Configure Command" on page 53.
