PERC cli command to create new virtual disk
I have a Poweredge R910 running VMWare ESXi and I want to add a few drives and create a new RAID10 virtual drive. Ideally I'd like to do this from the PERC CLI (which is installed) to avoid shutting down the server
Could someone familiar with the perc cli give me an example how to do this ?
