Understanding Volume Set Creation in a UNIX Environment
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create volume command includes the root special
file associated with the newly created volume set.
Use the container list command to display the root special file
associated with volume set. See Displaying A Root Special File (UNIX
Only) for more information on the root special file.
Identifying Some Tasks to Perform After Creating a Volume
Set
After you create a volume set, you can:
■ Add a file system. See Chapter 9, Modifying Containers, for a
description of how to add a file system.
■ Assign a drive letter. See Chapter 6, Working with Container
Attributes, for a description of how to assign a drive letter.
Working with 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
(stripes) data evenly across its respective partitions in equal-sized
sections called stripes. See the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide
for a complete description of stripe sets and other container
concepts.
To work with a stripe set, you must understand:
■ The stripe set attributes you can specify
■ How to create a stripe set
■ Stripe set creation in a NetWare environment
■ Stripe set creation in a UNIX environment
■ Some tasks to perform after creating the stripe set
The following sections discuss each of these topics.
