container Commands
Before extending the volume set, you might want to use the disk
show space command to display space usage information on the
SCSI devices from which you plan to add freespace. The following
example extends a volume set by adding freespace from two SCSI
devices:
AAC0>container extend volume 1 ((2,0,0), 32M) ((2,1,0), 32M)
Executing: container extend volume 1
((CHANNEL=2,ID=0,LUN=0),33,554,432)((CHANNEL=2,ID=1,LUN=0),33,554,432)
container 1 expanded.
As the command executes, note that the title bar of the DOS
window displays the status of the command. For example:
Stat:OK!,Task:101,Func:FSX Ctr:0,State:RUN 83.8%
For further details on status information, see page 1-13.
Use the container list
command after using the container
extend volume
command to display information about the
volume set after you extend it, 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
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
E: 1 Volume 164MB NTFS 2:02:0 200MB: 100MB
2:00:0 64.0KB: 32.0MB
2:01:0 64.0KB: 32.0MB
The following list describes the change to the display as the result
of extending a volume set with the container extend volume
command:
■ The Total Si z e column displays a new size, taking into
account the value(s) specified for the free_space
parameters. In the example the new size is 164 MB.
■ The Usage column continues to display NTFS, indicating that
array 1 has an NTFS file system on it.
■ The Scsi C:ID:L column displays the SCSI ID for the disk on
which the original volume set was created. It also displays the
SCSI ID(s) for the disk(s) from which you specified the
freespace. In the example, these disks are 2:00:0 and 2:01:0.
