Displaying and Setting a Container’s Type

The

container type

attribute identifies if a container is a mirror

set, stripe set, volume set, RAID-5 set, or a reconfigured container.
The CLI automatically assigns a type to a container when you create
it using the

container create

commands or when you

reconfigure it using the

container reconfigure

command. See

Chapter 7, Working With Single-level Containers, and Chapter 8,
Working with Multi-level Containers, for information on using the

container create

commands. See Chapter 9, Modifying

Containers, for information on using the

container reconfigure

command.
