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. Drawer 
ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. You 
must put parentheses around the enclosure ID 
values and the slot ID values.

diskGroupUserLabel

The alphanumeric identifier (including – and _) 
that you want to give the new disk group. Enclose 
the disk group identifier in square brackets ([]).

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 = N / 2 + X

where, X goes from 1 to N / 2 and N is the 
number of physical disks in the list. The 
following data show an example of six 
physical disks and their replication pairs.
