Parameter
Description
physicalDiskType
Type of physical disks to use for the storage array. Valid
physical disk type is Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). This
parameter is not required if only one type of physical disk
is in the storage array.

RAID level of the disk group that contains the physical
disks in the storage array. Valid RAID levels are 0, 1, 5 or
6.
diskGroupWidth
Number of physical disks in a disk group in the storage
array. For information about the number of physical disks
that you can use in a disk group, see Enclosure Loss

diskGroupCount
Number of disk groups in the storage array. Use integer
values.
virtualDisksPerGroupCount
Number of equal-capacity virtual disks per disk group. Use
integer values.
hotSpareCount
Number of hot spares in the storage array. Use integer
values. For information about hot spares, see Assigning
Global Hot Spares.
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.
cacheReadPrefetch
The setting to turn on or turn off cache read prefetch. To
