   [type=] The type parameter specifies the device type that is being created. 
   A logical drive (type=ld) or a logical drive cache (type=ldcache) are the
   only device types supported at this time.
   
   [drives=] The drives parameter specifies the physical drives to be used for 
   creating a logical drive on a new or existing array. If the drives specified
   are all unassigned drives, then a new array will be created with a new
   logical drive on it. If the drives specified are all assigned to an existing
   array, then a new logical drive will be created on that array. The symbol
   #:# stands for port:id or box:bay, depending on the controller. Some
   controllers may also support port:box:bay and use the #:#:# syntax. The all 
   and allunassigned keywords both target all physical drives that are not
   currently assigned to an array.
   
   [raid=] The raid parameter sets the raid level of the logical drive. If not 
   specified, the default raid is the highest level possible. The availability 
   of certain raid settings depends on the number of drives designated in the
   "drives=" parameter. For example, RAID 1 will only be available if two
   drives are selected while RAID 1+0 will be shown for a selection of 4 or
   more drives.
   
   [size=] The size parameter specifies the size of the logical drive, the
   implied units are MB. The possible options are: min, max, maxmbr, or a
   number. If not specified, the default is the maximum possible size.
   
   [stripsize=] The stripsize parameter sets the logical drive's stripsize. The
   implied units of strip size are KB.
   
   [sectors=] The sectors parameter specifies the sectors per track of the
   logical drive. If not specified, the default is 32. This is not supported
   for the logical drive cache type.
   
   [arrayaccelerator=]|[caching=] The arrayaccelerator or the caching parameter
   specifies the cache state for the logical drive. If not specified, the
   default is enable. This is not supported for the logical drive cache type.
   
   [drivetype=] The drivetype parameter specifies the drive interface type. If 
   there are multiple drive types when selecting all physical drives, the
   desired drive type needs to be specified. Mixed drives are not allowed on
   the same array or logical drive. If all drive types in a controller are the 
   same this parameter is not needed.
   
   [numberparitygroups=] The numberparitygroups parameter specifies the number 
   of parity groups that can be specified. This is only valid for RAID 50/60
   logical drives.
   
   [parityinitializationmethod=]  RAID levels that use parity (RAID 5, RAID 6
   (ADG), RAID 50, and RAID 60) require that the parity blocks be initialized
   to valid values. Valid parity data is required to enable enhanced data
   protection through background surface scan analysis and higher performance
   write operations. There are two initialization methods available - "default"
   and "rapid":
   The default method initializes parity blocks in the background while the
   logical drive is available for access by the operating system.
   The Rapid Parity Initialization method works by overwriting both the data
   and parity blocks in the foreground. The logical drive remains invisible and
   unavailable to the operating system until the parity initialization process 
   completes.
   Note: Rapid Parity Initialization is only available in supported controllers
   and in arrays composed of supported physical drives.
   
   For the logical drive cache, the datald parameter MUST be specified. The
   [datald=] parameter specifies the existing data logical drive number to
   assoicate with the newly created cache logical drive. The target can be a
   controller or an array in the system.
