Working With Single-level Containers
Specifying a Label for a Stripe Set
The
container label
attribute identifies a name assigned to a
container. Note that this label is not the label that displays in
Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator. You can specify a
container label while creating a stripe set or at a later time using the
container set label
command. See Displaying and Setting a
Container Label in Chapter 6, Working with Container Attributes, for a
description of the
container set label
command.
In the following example, the
container create stripe
command with the /label switch creates a stripe set with the label
Mars
.
HPN0> container create stripe /label=Mars ((2,1,0), 100M)
Executing: container create stripe /label="Mars"
((CHANNEL=2,ID=1,LUN=0), 104,857,600)
Container 0 created
Understanding How to Create a Stripe Set
This section provides an example that describes how to create a
stripe set.
Before creating a stripe set, use the
disk show space
command to
display information about your disks, as in the following example.
In the example, the Usage column indicates Free for each disk,
which means that the space on each disk consists of freespace.
HPN0> disk show space
Executing: disk show space
Scsi C:ID:L Usage Size
----------- ---------- -------------
2:01:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
2:02:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
2:03:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
2:04:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
To create a stripe set, use the
container create stripe
command, as in the following example. In the example, the stripe set
0
is created on SCSI device (2,01,0) from 100MB (megabytes) of
freespace. The container’s raw cache is enabled, and the label Mars
is specified.
