container Commands
{container}...
Specifies the ID (0 to 63) of one or more additional arrays from
which you want to create the multilevel volume set. You can use
up to 16 arrays. Typically, the additional arrays you specify are
the same type as the first array. For example, if the first array is a
stripe set then any subsequent arrays are also stripe sets.
Switches
/label{=string}
Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created
multilevel volume set. You can specify a maximum of sixteen
characters for the label.
If you do not specify the switch, it defaults to no label. If you
do not specify a label, you can do so later by using the
container set label command.
Examples
Before creating a multilevel volume set, use the container list
command to obtain information about any existing arrays.
As the following example shows, there are two existing arrays
(stripe sets) on this controller at the time the multilevel volume 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
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
0 Stripe 45MB 64KB None 0:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:04:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
1 Stripe 15MB 64KB None 0:05:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
The following example shows how to create a multilevel volume
set from two single arrays:
AAC0> container create mvolume 0 1
Executing: container create mvolume 0 1
container 0 created
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create mvolume command includes the root special
file associated with the newly created multilevel volume set.
