Configuration Script Example 2

This example creates a new virtual disk using the create virtualDisk
command with user-defined physical disks in the storage array.

Show "Create RAID 5 Virtual Disk 2 on existing

Disk Group 2";

//This command creates the disk group and the

initial virtual disk on that group.

//Note: For disk groups that use all available

capacity, the last virtual disk on the group is

created using all remaining capacity by omitting

the capacity=virtualDisk creation parameter

create virtualDisk raidLevel=5 userLabel="2"

physicalDisks=[0,1 0,6 1,7 1,3 2,3 2,6] owner=1

segmentSize=16 capacity=2GB;

show "Setting additional attributes for virtual

disk 7";

//Configuration settings that cannot be set during

virtual disk creation

set virtualDisk["7"] mediaScanEnabled=false;

set virtualDisk["7"] consistencyCheckEnabled=

false;

set virtualDisk["7"] modificationPriority=high;

The command in this example, like the create virtualDisk command in the
previous example, creates a new virtual disk. The significant difference
between these two examples is that this example shows how you can define
specific physical disks to include in the virtual disk. To find out what physical
disks are available in a storage array, run the show storageArray profile
command.
