Working with Disks

Displaying a Partition’s Offset

The

partition offset

attribute indicates the logical distance

from the beginning of a disk to the start of a partition. A partition’s
offset is determined when you create a container.

The CLI allows you to display a partition’s offset. To display the
partition offset, use the

disk show partition

command, as in

the following example. The Partition Offset column shows an offset
of 64.0KB for SCSI devices (2,1,0) and (2,2,0).

HPN0> disk show partition

Executing: disk show partition

Scsi Partition Container MultiLevel

C:ID:L Offset:Size Num Type Num Type R/W

------ ------------- --- ------ --- ------ ---

2:01:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB 0 Mirror 0 None RW

2:02:0 64.0KB: 15.0MB 0 Mirror 0 None RW

The

container

list

command also displays a partition’s offset.

See any of the container create examples in Chapter 7, Working With
Single-level Containers
, for further information on the

container

list

command.

Displaying and Reconfiguring a Partition’s Size

The

partition size

attribute determines the number of bytes in

a partition. You specify the partition size when you create the
container.

The CLI allows you to do the following:

Display a partition’s size

Reconfigure a partition’s size

To display a partition’s size, use the

disk show partition

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

column shows a partition size of 15.0MB for SCSI devices

(2,1,0) and (2,2,0).

HPN0> disk show partition

Executing: disk show partition
