container Commands
Switches
/wait{=boolean}
Specifies whether to create the mirror set synchronously. If
you set this switch to TRUE, the command prompt does not
return until the mirror-set creation completes. If you set this
switch to FALSE, the mirror-set creation starts
asynchronously and the command prompt returns
immediately.
/io_delay{=integer}
Specifies the number of milliseconds the controller waits between
the I/Os required to create the mirror set. If you do not specify
this switch, the I/O delay is always zero (0). The I/O delay value
is not preserved between reboots of the operating system.
Examples
Before creating a mirror set, 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 volume set)
on this controller prior to the time the mirror set is created:
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 10MB NTFS 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB
The following example shows how to create a mirror set
synchronously from volume set 0 using freespace on SCSI device
(0,3,0):
AAC0>container create mirror /wait /io_delay=10 0 (0,3,0)
Executing: container create mirror /wait=TRUE
/io_delay=10 0
(CHANNEL=0, ID=3,LUN=0)
As the command executes, note the title bar of the DOS window
displays the status of the command. For example:
Stat:OK!Task:101,Func:MCR Ctr:0,State:RUN 97.2%
