| Creates a virtual disk.
NOTE: When providing multiple physical disks for
the createvdisk command, do not separate the disks with spaces. For example,
-ad=1:4, 1:5 causes an error. The correct syntax for displaying multiple
physical disks is -ad=1:4,1:5,1:6.
| See
Table 4-4 for specific usage information.
|
-ac
or
action
