Each keyword is followed by <DiskName>, the name of the disk, which is indicated by the device name (such as Harddisk2) or the internal disk name (such as Disk2). The internal disk name must be preceded by the -g disk group option (for example, -gDG1 Disk2). Another way to specify a disk is with the p#c#t#l# parameter. The #s correspond to port, channel, target, and LUN of the disk.

Typing the following sequence for each keyword brings up a description of its syntax:
