In the following example, the

container create mstripe

Understanding How to Create a Stripe Set of Volume Sets

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

Before creating a stripe set of volume sets, be sure that the volume
sets that are to be striped have been created. See Working with a
Volume Set
in Chapter 7, Working With Single-level Containers, for
information on creating a volume set. Use the

container list

command to display information about your containers, as in the
following example. In the example, the Type column indicates two
Volume

sets that reside on containers 0 and 1.

HPN0> container list

Executing: container list

Cluster Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition

Dr Partner Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size

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

0 0 Volume 100MB None 2:01:0 64.0KB: 100MB

0 1 Volume 100MB None 2:02:0 64.0KB: 100MB

To create a stripe set of volume sets, use the

container create

mstripe

command, as in the following example. In the example,

containers 0 and 1 are used to create a stripe set of volume sets. The
stripe size is not specified; therefore, the stripe size is 32KB, which is
the default size.

HPN0> container create mstripe 0 1

Executing: container create mstripe 0 1

Container 0 created

After running the

container create mstripe

command, use

the

container list

command to display information about the

stripe set of volume 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 Volume sets, whose container
IDs are 63 and 62. (Containers 62 and 63 are hidden containers.)
