Working with Container Attributes

Displaying, Assigning, and Removing a Drive Letter
(Windows Only)

The

drive letter

attribute identifies the drive letter associated

with a container. Drive letters do not automatically get assigned
when you create a container. Some operations, for example, adding
a file system to a container, require that you assign a drive letter to a
container.

The CLI allows you to do the following:

Display a drive letter assigned to a container

Assign a drive letter to a container

Remove a drive letter from a container

Displaying a Drive Letter Assigned to a Container

To display a container’s drive letter, use the

container list

command, as in the following example. In the example, the Dr
column is blank, which indicates that no drive letter is assigned to
container 0. Note that the Dr column appears only if you are
running the CLI on the Windows NT or Windows 2000 (basic disks
only) operating system.

Assigning a Drive Letter to a Container

To assign a drive letter to a container, use the

container assign

drive_letter

command, as in the following example. In the

example, drive letter F is assigned to container 0.

HPN0> container assign drive_letter 0 F

Executing: container assign drive_letter 0 "F"

Drive Letter F: assigned to Container 0
