Command Line Interface User’s Guide
To convert freespace to container space, use the container
create raid5 command, the container create stripe
command, the container create volume command, or the
container extend volume command. See Chapter 7, Working
With Single-level Containers, for a description of the container
create commands. See Chapter 9, Modifying Containers, for a
description of the container extend command. In the following
example, a volume set is created on SCSI device (2,01,0) from 100M
(megabytes) of freespace.
HPN0> container create volume ((2,01,0), 100M)
Executing: container create volume
((CHANNEL=2,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600)
Container 0 created
After specifying freespace to create a container, use the disk show
space command again to verify the conversion of freespace to
container space, as in the following example.
HPN0> disk show space
Executing: disk show space
Scsi C:ID:L Usage Size
----------- ---------- -------------
2:01:0 Container 64.0KB: 100MB
2:01:0 Free 100MB:8.37GB
2:02:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
2:03:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
2:04:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
In the example,
■ The Usage column indicates that SCSI device (2,01,0) has a
Container
and Free space.
■ The Size column indicates that SCSI device (2,01,0) has a
container that is 100MB in size, and that it has 8.37GB of
freespace (8.47GB-100MB=8.37GB). Note that the Size column
indicates that the freespace offset for SCSI device (2,01,0)
begins at 100MB. The freespace offset for the other devices
begins at 64KB.
