Working with Multi-level Containers
Creating a Volume Set of RAID-5 Sets
A volume set of RAID-5 sets is a multi-level container made up of a
top-level volume set and one or more underlying RAID-5 sets. A
volume set of RAID-5 set’s data is redundant. Each RAID-5 set is
made up of three or more equal-sized partitions on three or more
separate disks. See the Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide for a
description of volume set of RAID-5 sets and other container
concepts.
To work with a volume set of stripe sets, you must understand:
■ The volume set of RAID-5 set attributes you can specify
■ How to create a volume set of RAID-5 sets
■ Volume set of RAID-5 set creation in a NetWare environment
■ Volume set of RAID-5 set creation in a UNIX environment
■ Some tasks to perform after creating a volume set of RAID-5
sets
The following sections discuss each of these topics.
Understanding the Volume Set of RAID-5 Sets Attribute You can
Specify
You use the container create mvolume command to create a
volume set of RAID-5 sets. Before creating a volume set of RAID-5
sets, consider the following volume set of RAID-5 sets attribute you
can specify:
■ container label
Specifying a Label for a Volume Set of RAID-5 Sets
The container label attribute indicates 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 label
while creating a volume set of RAID-5 sets or at a later time using
the
container set label command at a later time to specify a
label. See Displaying and Setting a Container Label in Chapter 6,
Working with Container Attributes, for a description of the
container set label command.
