Parameters

Parameter

Description

physicalDisks

Specifies the physical disks to assign to the created
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. Slot ID values are
0 to 31. You must put parentheses around the enclosure
ID values and the slot ID values.

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 =
where X goes from 1 to

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.
