Working with Container Attributes
Displaying and Setting a Container’s Total Size
The total size attribute indicates the number of bytes in a
container. The size of a container is the size of the freespace you
specified when you created, reconfigured, or extended the container.
To display a container’s total size, use the container list
command, as in the following example. In the example, the Total
Size
column indicates that the size of container 0 is 15MB.

0 0 Volume 15MB None 2:01:0 64KB: 15MB
Venus 2:02:0 64KB: 15MB
To set the size of a container, use the container create
commands or the container reconfigure command. For
information on the container create commands, see Chapter 7,
Working With Single-level Containers. For information on the
container reconfigure command, see Chapter 9, Modifying
Containers
Displaying and Setting Stripe Size
The stripe size attribute indicates the number of bytes in a
stripe. Stripe size is the amount of data that is written to a partition
before the I/O data stream switches to the next partition/container
in a stripe set, RAID-5 set, or stripe set of mirror sets.
To display the stripe size of a container, use the container list
command, as in the following example. In the example, the Stripe
Size
column indicates that the stripe size of container 1 is 32KB
(kilobytes).
