container Commands
Examples
Before creating a multilevel array of mirror sets, use the
container list command
to obtain information about any
existing arrays. As the following example shows, array 0 is a
volume set that consists of two underlying volume sets created
with the container promote command:
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 30MB NTFS
63 Volume 15MB 0:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
62 Volume 15MB 0:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
The following example shows how to create a multilevel array of
mirror sets with the following characteristics:
■ The array specified (0) is a multilevel array of volume sets
that was previously created with the container promote
command.
■ The freespace from SCSI devices (0,4,0), and (0,5,0) are used to
mirror the underlying volume sets.
■ The default I/O delay is taken.
■ The multilevel array of mirror sets is created asynchronously.
AAC0>container create mmirror 0 (0,4,0) (0,5,0)
Executing: container create mmirror 0 (CHANNEL=0,ID=4,LUN=0)
(CHANNEL=0,ID=5,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:63,State:RUN 97.2%
For further details on status information, see page 1-13.
Use the container list command after using the container
create mmirror command to display information about the
multilevel array of mirror sets:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
