container Commands
/label{=string}
Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created array. 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.
Note that this label is not the label that displays in Windows
Explorer. The label displayed by Windows Explorer comes from
the label specified with the
container format command.
Examples
Before creating a array, use the disk show space command to
obtain information about the available SCSI devices, as in the
following example:
AAC0>disk show space
Executing: disk show space

0:08:0 Free 64.0KB: 11.0MB
The example list shows that there are eight SCSI disks available to
create the array. There must be enough contiguous freespace on all
the specified drives.
The following example shows how to create a array with the
following characteristics:
■ 15 MB of freespace on the (0,2,0) SCSI disk
■ The default stripe size of 64 KB
■ Two freespaces of 15 MB on the (0,3,0) and (0,4,0) SCSI disks
AAC0>container create stripe ((0,2,0), 15M) (0,3,0) (0,4,0)
Executing: container create stripe ((CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0),15,728,640 )
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0) (CHANNEL=0,ID=4,LUN=0)
container 0 created
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create stripe command includes the root special
file associated with the newly created array.
