Understanding a Stripe Set of RAID-5 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 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
.
