container Commands
As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a stripe set) on
this controller:
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 45.0MB 32KB None 0:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
0:04:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
The following example promotes array 0 to a multilevel array:
AAC0>container promote 0
Executing: container promote 0
Use the container list command after using the container
promote
command to display information about the array you
just promoted, 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 45.0MB 32KB None
63 Volume 15.0MB 0:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
62 Volume 15.0MB 0:03:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
61 Volume 15.0MB 0:04:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB
The following list describes the change to the display as the result
of promoting an array (in this example, array 0) with the
container promote
command:
■ The Num Label column displays four container IDs: 0 (the
array that was promoted to a multilevel volume set), 63 (one
of the underlying volume sets), 62 (a second underlying
volume set), and 61 (a third underlying volume set).
This column also displays the label assigned to the array
when the array was created. If no label was assigned to the
array then no label appears in the column.
■ The Type column displays the Volume array type for the
three underlying volume sets.
■ The Total Si z e column displays the sizes of the arrays. Note
that the underlying arrays are each 15.0 MB and array 0’s size
is the total of the two underlying arrays.
