Understanding a Stripe Set of Stripe Sets 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 displays. 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.

For information on how to display the NetWare console remotely on
the NT client running FAST, see the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s
Guide
.

Understanding a Stripe Set of Stripe Set Creation in a UNIX
Environment

On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the

container create mstripe

command includes the root special

file associated with the newly created multi-level stripe set.

Use the

container list

command to display the root special file

associated with the stripe set of stripe sets. See Displaying A Root
Special File (UNIX Only)
for more information on the root special file.

Understanding Some Tasks to Perform After Creating a Stripe Set of
Stripe Sets

Add a file system. See Chapter 9, Modifying Containers, for a
description of how to add a file system.
