container Commands
Examples
Before splitting a mirror set or a multilevel array of mirror sets, use
the container list
command to obtain information about any
existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is one
existing array (array 0, a mirror set) on this controller at the time
the mirror set is split:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition
Dr Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
F: 0 Mirror 10.0MB NTFS 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB
0:02:0 10.0MB: 10.0MB
The following example shows how to split a mirror set:
AAC0>container split 0
Executing: container split 0
container 1 created
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container split command includes the root special file
associated with the newly created split array.
Use the container list
command after using the container
split command to display information about the split mirror set,
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
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
F: 0 Volume 10.0MB NTFS 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB
1 Volume 10.0MB NTFS 0:02:0 10.0MB: 10.0MB
The following list describes the change to the display as the result
of splitting a mirror set with the container split
command:
■ The Num Label column displays the IDs (in the example, 0
and 1) of the split mirror set. array 0 is the master array; array
1 is the split array.
This column also displays the label(s) assigned to the array(s)
when the array(s) was created. If no label(s) was assigned to
the array(s) then no label(s) appears in the column.
On UNIX systems, the root special file associated with the
array also appears in this column.
■ The Type column displays Vol um e as the array type for a
split mirror set.
