Working with Multi-level Containers
For information on how to display the NetWare console remotely on
the NT client running FAST, see the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s
Guide.
Understanding a Volume Set of Stripe Set Creation in a UNIX
Environment
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create mvolume command includes the root special
file associated with the newly created multi-level volume set.
Use the container list command to display the root special file
associated with the volume set of stripe sets. See Displaying A Root
Special File (UNIX Only) for more information on the root special file.
Understanding Some Tasks to Perform After Creating a Volume Set of
Stripe Sets
After you create a volume set of stripe sets, 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.
■ Extend the volume set of stripe sets. See Chapter 9, Modifying
Containers for a description of how to extend a multi-volume
set.
Creating a Volume Set of Mirror Sets
A volume set of mirror sets is a multi-level container that is made up
of a top-level volume set and a concatenation of one or more
underlying mirror sets. A volume set of mirror set’s data is
redundant. Each mirror set is made up of two equal-sized partitions
on two separate disks. See the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide
for a description of volume set of mirror sets and other container
concepts.
To work with a volume set of mirror sets, you must understand:
■ The volume set of mirror sets attributes you can specify
■ How to create a volume set of mirror sets
■ Volume set of mirror sets creation in a NetWare environment
