container Commands
Examples
Use the container list command to obtain information about
any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is an
array 0 (a mirror set) and an array 1 (a volume set) on this
controller:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition
Dr Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
0 Mirror 15.0MB None 1:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
Tigris 1:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
E: 1 Volume 15.0MB NTFS 1:00:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
The following example reconfigures a volume set to a stripe set:
AAC0>container reconfigure /partition_size=1 /stripe 1
Executing: container reconfigure /partition_size=1 /stripe=TRUE 1
As the command executes, note that the title bar of the DOS
window displays the status of the command. For example:
Stat:OK!Task:100,Func:RCF Ctr:1,State:RUN 97.2%
For further details on status information, see page 1-13.
Use the
container list command after using the container
reconfigure
command to display information about the array
you just reconfigured, as in the following example:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition
Dr Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
0 Mirror 15.0MB None 1:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
Tigris 1:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
E: 1 Stripe 15.0MB NTFS 1:00:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
As the result of reconfiguring an array (in this example, array 1)
with the container reconfigure command, the Type column
displays Stripe (instead of Vo l um e )
to indicate that the specified
array is now a stripe set instead of a volume set.
