Understanding How to Add a Level to a Container

This section provides an example that describes how to add a level
to a container.

Before adding a level to a container, use the

container list

command to display information about your containers, as in the
following example. In the example, the Type column indicates that
container 0 is a RAID-5 set.

HPN0> container list

Executing: container list

0:01:0 64.0KB: 100MB

0:02:0 64.0KB: 100MB

0:03:0 64.0KB: 100MB

To add a level to a container, use the

container add_level

command, as in the following example. In the example, a multi-level
volume set is created on top of container 0, which is a previously-
created RAID-5 set.

HPN0> container add_level 0

Executing: container add_level 0

After running the

container add_level

command to add a level

to a container, use the

container list

command to display

information about the containers, as in the following example. In the
example, the Type column indicates a top-level Volume set, whose
container ID is 0, and an underlying RAID-5 set, whose container ID
is 63. (Container 63 is a hidden container.) These two containers
make up a volume set of RAID-5 sets.
