Working with Multi-level Containers
After running the container create mstripe command, use
the container list command to display information about the
stripe set of mirror sets, as in the following example. In the example,
the Type column indicates a top-level Stripe set, whose container ID
is 0, and two underlying Mirror sets, whose container IDs are 63 and
62
. (Container’s 62 and 63 are hidden containers.) These three
containers make up the stripe set of mirror sets. The Total Size
column indicates that the stripe set of mirror sets is 200MB
(megabytes), which is the total size of the two underlying mirror
sets. The Stripe Size column indicates that the size of each stripe is
32KB
(kilobytes).

Understanding a Stripe Set of Mirror Set Creation in a NetWare
Environment
When creating a multilevel container of stripe sets on a NetWare
server, you specify the container IDs for the containers from which
you want to create the multilevel stripe set. If NetWare is using any
of these containers, an appropriate message appears. This message
indicates that one or more of the containers you specified is in use by
NetWare. The message directs you to remove any NetWare volumes
and partitions from these containers. You can then create a
multilevel container of stripe sets on a NetWare server.
After you create a multilevel container of stripe sets on a NetWare
server, you must run the
list devices command on the
NetWare console and then create the necessary NetWare disk
partitions and volumes.
For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the
appropriate NetWare documentation.
