Working with Container Attributes
To set a container’s availability to read/write, use the
container
readwrite
command, as in the following example. In the example,
container 0 is set to read/write availability.
HPN0> container readwrite 0
Executing: container readwrite 0
After executing the
container readonly
command, use the
container list
command again to verify that the container is set
to read/write availability. In the example, the RO column is blank,
which means that container 0 is set to read/write availability. (Note
that the example eliminates some items in the
container list
display to make the example readable on this page.)
HPN0> container list /full=TRUE
Executing: container list /full=TRUE

Displaying and Setting a Container’s Lock Mode
The
lock
attribute indicates if a container is locked into volatile
memory space on the currently open controller. A locked container
cannot be moved, deleted, made read-only, or used to create a
multilevel container. When a container is locked into volatile
memory space, the
container reconfigure
command has no
effect on the container.
The CLI allows you to do the following:
■
Display a container’s lock setting
■
Lock a container
■
Unlock a container
Typically, you lock and unlock a container only under the direction
of technical support. See the Command Line Interface Reference Guide
for information on how to use the
container lock
and
container unlock
commands.
Some CLI commands cause a container to temporarily become
locked without the use of the
container lock
command. For
example, when you create a mirror set, the CLI locks the specified
container until the
mirror create
operation completes.
