Parameters
Parameter
Description
addDrives
Identifies multiple physical disks to add to the disk pool.
Each disk pool must be created from a minimum of 11
physical disks specified. There is no upward limit of
physical disks supported in a single disk pool, but the
number cannot exceed the number of physical disks
supported on the storage array.
addCapacity
Use the addCapacity parameter to specify the amount
of storage and automatically select physical disks to meet
that capacity.
owner
The RAID controller module that owns the disk pool. Valid
RAID controller module identifiers are 0 or 1, where 0 is
the RAID controller module in slot 0, and 1 is the RAID
controller module in slot 1. If you do not specify an owner,
the RAID controller module firmware determines the
owner.
Recopy Virtual Disk Copy
Description
This command reinitiates a virtual disk copy operation by using an existing virtual disk copy pair.
NOTE: See Preparing Host Servers To Recopy A Virtual Disk.
CAUTION: Before you create a new copy of a source virtual disk, stop any data access (I/O) activity or suspend
data transfer to the source virtual disk and (if applicable, the target disk) to ensure that you capture an accurate
point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. Close all applications, including Windows Internet Explorer, to make
sure all I/O activity has stopped.
NOTE: Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk(s) in Windows or unmounting the virtual drive in
Linux helps to guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the virtual copy.
