Understanding How to Extend a Multi-level Container of Volume Sets

This section provides an example that describes how to extend a
multi-level container of volume sets.

Before extending a multi-level container of volume sets, 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 multi-level volume set made
up of underlying containers 63 and 62, and that containers 1 and 2
are single-level volume sets.

To extend the multi-level container of volume sets on container 0,
use the

container extend mvolume

command, as in the

following example. In the example, container 0 is extended by
adding containers 1 and 2.
