You can also assign a label to a container when you create it using
the following commands:
■ container create mstripe
■ container create mvolume
■ container create raid5
■ container create stripe
■ container create volume
See Chapter 7, Working With Single-level Containers, and Chapter 8,
Working with Multi-level Containers, for information on using these
commands.
Displaying and Setting a Container’s Type
The container type attribute identifies if a container is a mirror
set, stripe set, volume set, RAID-5 set, or a reconfigured container.
The CLI automatically assigns a type to a container when you create
it using the
container create commands or when you
reconfigure it using the container reconfigure command. See
Chapter 7, Working With Single-level Containers, and Chapter 8,
Working with Multi-level Containers, for information on using the
container create commands. See Chapter 9, Modifying
Containers, for information on using the container reconfigure
command.
Table 6-3 describes the possible container types.

Container Type Meaning
Mirror The container is a mirror set. A mirror set is a
single-level container made up of two equal-sized
partitions that reside on two different disks.
Stripe The container is a stripe set. A stripe set is a single-
level container made up of two or more equal-sized
partitions that reside on different disks. A stripe set
distributes data evenly across its respective disks in
equal-sized sections called stripes.
Volume The container is a volume set. A volume set is a
single-level container that is a concatenation of one
or more partitions on one or more disks.
