Working with Multi-level Containers
data stream switches to the next partition in the stripe. The stripe
size can be 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, or 64 KB. You need to determine the
stripe size that is most suitable for your environment. Note that you
can use the
container reconfigure command at a later time to
change the stripe size. See the container reconfigure
command in Chapter 9, Modifying Containers, for a description of the
container reconfigure command. You display the stripe size
with container list command. See Understanding How to Create
a Stripe Set of Stripe Sets for information on the container list
command.
In the following example, the container create mstripe
command with the /stripe switch creates a stripe set of stripe sets
with a stripe size of 64 KB (kilobytes).
HPN0> container create mstripe /stripe=64K 0 1
Executing: container create mstripe /stripe_size=65,536 0 1
Container 0 created
Specifying a Label for a Stripe Set of Stripe Sets
The container label attribute indicates a name assigned to a
container. Note that this label is not the label that displays in
Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator. You can specify a label
while creating a stripe set of stripe sets or at a later time using the
container set label command to specify a label. See
Displaying and Setting a Container Label in Chapter 6, Working with
Container Attributes, for a description of the
container set
label command.
In the following example, the container create mstripe
command with the /label switch creates a stripe set of stripe sets
with the label Jupiter.
HPN0> container create mstripe /label=Jupiter 0 1
Executing: container create mstripe /label="Jupiter" 0 1
Container 0 created
Understanding How to Create a Stripe Set of Stripe Sets
This section provides an example that describes how to create a
stripe set of stripe sets.
Before creating a stripe set of stripe sets, be sure that the stripe sets
that are to become the underlying containers in the strip set of stripe
