userLabel

Name for the new virtual disk. You must
put quotation marks (" ") around the new
virtual disk name.

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, kilobytes, megabytes, or
gigabytes.

NOTE:

If you do not specify a capacity, all

of the available capacity in the free
capacity area of the disk group is used. If
you do not specify capacity units, bytes are
used as the default units. A space must be
added between the last digit and the size
(MB, GB, or KB) for values greater than 9.
