Working with Multi-level
Containers
This chapter explains how to use the CLI to create multi-level
containers. A multi-level container is a combination of one or more
single-level containers. Multi-level containers made up of two
container types combine the beneficial characteristics of the two
types.
Before you can work with containers, you must have previously
opened the controller. See Opening and Closing a Controller in
Chapter 3, for a description of how to open a controller. In addition,
you must have initialized your disk or disks to prepare them for
container operations. See Working with Disks in Chapter 4 for a
description of how to initialize a disk.
See the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide for a discussion of
multi-level container concepts. Also see Chapter 7, Working With
Single-level Containers, for information on creating single-level
containers.
