Understanding a Volume Set of RAID-5 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 RAID-5 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
RAID-5 Sets
After you create a volume set of RAID-5 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 RAID-5 sets. See Chapter 9, Modifying
Containers for a description of how to extend a multi-volume
set.
Creating a Volume Set of Volume Sets
A volume set of volume sets is a multi-level container made up of a
top-level volume set and one or more underlying volume sets. Each
underlying volume set is made up of one or more equal- or unequal-
sized partitions on one or more disks. See the Flexible Array Storage
Tool User’s Guide for a description of multi-level sets and other
container concepts.
To work with a volume set of volume sets, you must understand:
■ The volume set of volume set attributes you can specify
■ How to create a volume set of volume sets
■ Volume set of volume set creation in a NetWare environment
■ Volume set of volume set creation in a UNIX environment
■ Some tasks to perform after creating a volume set of volume
sets
The following sections discuss each of these topics.
