Working with Multi-level Containers

containers, as in the following example. In the example, the Type
column indicates two Mirror sets reside on containers 0 and 1.

HPN0> container list

Executing: container list

Cluster Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition

Dr Partner Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size

-- ------- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------

0 0 Mirror 100MB None 2:01:0 64.0KB: 100MB

0 1 Mirror 100MB None 2:03:0 64.0KB: 100MB

2:04:0 64.0KB: 100MB

To create a volume set of mirror sets, use the

container create

mvolume

command, as in the following example. In the example,

containers 0 and 1 are used to create a volume set of mirror sets.

HPN0> container create mvolume 0 1

Executing: container create mvolume 0 1

Container 0 created

After running the

container create mvolume

command, use

the

container list

command to display information about the

volume set of mirror sets, as in the following example. In the
example, the Type column indicates a top-level Volume set, whose
container ID is 0, and two underlying Mirror sets, whose container
IDs are 63 and 62. (Containers 63 and 62 are hidden containers.)
These three containers make up the volume set of mirror sets. The
Total Size

column indicates that the volume set of mirror sets is

200MB

(megabytes), which is the total size of the two underlying

mirror sets.
