Working With Single-level Containers

Specifying a Label for a Stripe Set

The

container label

attribute identifies a name assigned to a

container. Note that this label is not the label that displays in
Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator. You can specify a
container label while creating a stripe set or at a later time using the

container set label

command. See Displaying and Setting a

Container Label in Chapter 6, Working with Container Attributes, for a
description of the

container set label

command.

In the following example, the

container create stripe

command with the /label switch creates a stripe set with the label
Mars

.

HPN0> container create stripe /label=Mars ((2,1,0), 100M)

Executing: container create stripe /label="Mars"

((CHANNEL=2,ID=1,LUN=0), 104,857,600)

Container 0 created

Understanding How to Create a Stripe Set

This section provides an example that describes how to create a
stripe set.

Before creating a stripe set, use the

disk show space

command to

display information about your disks, as in the following example.
In the example, the Usage column indicates Free for each disk,
which means that the space on each disk consists of freespace.

HPN0> disk show space

Executing: disk show space

Scsi C:ID:L Usage Size

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

2:01:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB

2:02:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB

2:03:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB

2:04:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB

To create a stripe set, use the

container create stripe

command, as in the following example. In the example, the stripe set
0

is created on SCSI device (2,01,0) from 100MB (megabytes) of

freespace. The container’s raw cache is enabled, and the label Mars
is specified.
