container 0 (a volume set of volume sets created with the

container promote

command) is used to create the volume set of

mirror sets. The freespace from SCSI devices (2,3,0) and (2,4,0) are
used to mirror the underlying volume sets.

HPN0> container create mmirror 0 (2,3,0) (2,4,0)

Executing: container create mmirror 0 (CHANNEL=2,ID=3,LUN=0)

(CHANNEL=2,ID=4,LUN=0)

Container 0 created

After running the

container create mmirror

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. These three containers make up the volume set of
mirror sets.

Understanding a Multi-level Container of Mirror Sets in a NetWare
Environment

When creating a multilevel container of mirror sets on a NetWare
server, you specify the container IDs (as described in the Parameters
section) for the containers from which you want to create the
multilevel mirror set. If NetWare is using any of these containers, an
appropriate message displays. This message indicates that one or
more of the containers you specified is in use by NetWare. The
message directs you to remove any NetWare volumes and partitions
from these containers. You can then create a multilevel container of
mirror sets on a NetWare server.

After you create a multilevel container of mirror sets on a NetWare
server, you must run the

command on the
