container Commands
container create mstripe
To create a multilevel stripe set from equally sized arrays, use the
container create mstripe command. The top level of a
multilevel stripe array can only be a stripe set. You can create the
following types of multilevel stripe set:
■ Stripe set of mirror sets
■ Stripe set of volume sets
■ Stripe set of stripe sets
■ Stripe set of RAID 5 arrays (a RAID-50 set)
Notes
When creating a multilevel array of stripe sets on a NetWare server,
you specify the container IDs (as described in the Parameters
section) for the arrays from which you want to create the multilevel
stripe set. If NetWare is using any of these arrays, an appropriate
message displays. This message indicates that one or more of the
arrays you specified is in use by NetWare. The message directs you
to remove any NetWare volumes and partitions from these arrays.
You can then create a multilevel array of stripe sets on a NetWare
server.
After you create a multilevel array of stripe sets you can run the
list devices command on the NetWare console to verify its
creation and then create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and
volumes.
For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the
appropriate NetWare documentation.
