Working with Multi-level Containers
volume set of RAID-5 sets, as in the following example. In the
example, the Type column indicates a top-level Volume set, whose
container ID is 0, and two underlying RAID-5 sets, whose container
IDs are 63 and 62. (Containers 63 and 62 are hidden containers.)
These three containers make up the volume set of RAID-5 sets. The
Total Size
column indicates that the volume set of RAID-5 sets is
400MB
(megabytes), which is the total size of the two underlying
RAID-5 sets.

Understanding a Volume Set of RAID-5 Set Creation 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.
