Working with Multi-level Containers

Specifying a Label for a Volume Set of Stripe Sets

The

container label

attribute indicates a name assigned to a

container. Note that this label is not the label that displays in
Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator. You can specify a label
while creating a volume set of stripe sets or at a later time using the

container set label

command at a later time to specify a label.

See Displaying and Setting a Container Label in Chapter 6, Working
with Container Attributes
, for a description of the

container set

label

command.

In the following example, the

container create mvolume

command with the /label switch creates a volume set of stripe sets
with the label Mars.

HPN0> container create mvolume /label=Mars 0 1

Executing: container create mvolume /label="Mars" 0 1

Container 0 created

Understanding How to Create a Volume Set of Stripe Sets

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

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

sets that reside on containers 0 and 1.

HPN0> container list

Executing: container list

0 1 Stripe 200MB 32KB None 2:03:0 64.0KB: 100MB

2:04:0 64.0KB: 100MB

To create a volume set of stripe sets, use the

container create

mvolume

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

containers 0 and 1 are used to create a volume set of stripe sets.
