Understanding How to Create a Volume Set of RAID-5 Sets

This section provides an example that describes how to create a
volume set of RAID-5 sets.

Before creating a volume set of RAID-5 sets, be sure that the RAID-5
sets that are to makeup the volume set have been created. See
Working with a RAID-5 Set in Chapter 7, Working With Single-level
Containers
, for information on creating a RAID-5 set. Use the

container list

command to display information about your

containers, as in the following example. In the example, the Type
column indicates that two RAID-5 sets reside on containers 0 and 1.
The Scsi C:ID:L column indicates that both RAID-5 sets reside on
SCSI devices 2:01:0, 2:02:0, and 2:03:0.
