MB, GB, or TB.
NOTE: Add a space between the last digit and
the size (bytes, KB, MB, or GB) for values
greater than 9. If you do not specify a
capacity, all the available physical disk
capacity in the disk group is used. If you do
not specify the capacity unit, bytes is used as
the default unit.

owner
RAID controller module that owns the virtual disk.
Valid RAID controller module identifier values are 0
and 1. The identifier value is 0 for the RAID
controller module on the top and 1 for the RAID
controller module on the bottom when viewed
from the rear of the enclosure. If you do not
specify an owner, the RAID controller module
firmware determines the owner.

parameter to TRUE. To turn off cache read
prefetch, set this parameter to FALSE.
segmentSize
Amount of data (in kilobytes) that the RAID
controller module writes on a single physical disk
in a virtual disk before writing data on the next
physical disk. Valid values are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,
256, or 512. For information about the
segmentSize parameter, see Using The Auto
Configure Command.

usageHint
The settings for both the cacheReadPrefetch
parameter and the segmentSize parameter
should be the default values. The default values are
based on the typical I/O usage pattern of the
application that is using the virtual disk. Valid values
are fileSystem, dataBase, or multiMedia.
