container Commands
The following example shows how to create a multilevel stripe set
from two equally sized arrays, using the default stripe size of
64 KB. In this example, the two equally sized arrays are mirror sets:
AAC0>container create mstripe 0 1
Executing: container create mstripe 0 1
container 0 created
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create mstripe command includes the root
special file associated with the newly created multilevel stripe set.
Use the container list command after using the container
create mstripe command to display information about the
multilevel stripe 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
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
0 Stripe 30MB 0 64KB None
63 Mirror 15MB 0:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:02:0 15.0MB: 15.0MB
62 Mirror 15MB 0:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:03:0 15.0MB: 15.0MB
The following list describes the change to the display as the result
of creating a multilevel stripe set with the container create
mstripe command:
■ The Num Label column displays the ID number (in the
example, 0) of the newly created multilevel stripe set and
(indented to the right) the ID numbers of the arrays that make
up the multilevel stripe set. In the example, arrays 63 and 62
are the arrays (mirror sets) that make up the multilevel stripe
set.
If you specify a label when creating the multilevel stripe set, it
appears in this column. Because no label was specified when
the multilevel stripe set was created, no label appears in the
column.
On UNIX systems, the root special file associated with the
multilevel stripe set also appears in this column.
■ The Type column displays the type Stripe for the newly
created multilevel stripe set. The Type column also displays
the array type for the underlying arrays. In the example,
Mirror appears in the Type column to indicate that the arrays
that make up the multilevel volume set are mirror sets.
