DiskID specifies the identification number of the disk on which to install a data image.

Values

Disk_identification_number

Specifies the identification number of the disk on which to install a data image. Disk_identification_number is an integer.

Disk IDs start with 0. For example, to specify the first disk, assign DiskID to 0. For the second disk, assign DiskID to 1.

If you are installing a data image to a computer with a single disk, assign DiskID to 0. In contrast, PartitionID starts with 1 for the first partition.
