Understanding a Volume Set of Mirror Sets in a NetWare Environment
When creating a multilevel container of volume sets on a NetWare
server, you specify the container IDs for the containers from which
you want to create the multilevel volume set. If NetWare is using
any of these containers, an appropriate message displays. This
message indicates that one or more of the containers you specified is
in use by NetWare. The message directs you to remove any NetWare
volumes and partitions from these containers. You can then create a
multilevel container of volume sets on a NetWare server.
After you create a multilevel volume set on a NetWare server, you
must run the
list devices command on the NetWare console
and then create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and volumes.
For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the
appropriate NetWare documentation.
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 Mirror 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 mirror 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
Mirror 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 mirror sets. See Chapter 9, Modifying
Containers, for a description of how to extend a multi-volume
set.
