Modifying Containers
Specifying Synchronous or Asynchronous Command Execution
The wait attribute indicates whether the command prompt returns
after a container is reconfigured (synchronous command execution)
or if the command prompt returns immediately after executing the
container reconfigure command (asynchronous command
execution).
In the following example, the container reconfigure
command with the /wait switch executes asynchronously:
HPN0> container reconfigure /wait=FALSE /partition_move=TRUE 2
(0,0,0)
Executing: container reconfigure /wait=FALSE
/partition_move=TRUE 2 (CHANNEL=0,ID=0,LUN=0)
Restarting a Stopped Reconfigure Task
The restart reconfigure task attribute indicates the restart
of a stopped reconfigure task. The task stop command stops a
reconfigure task. See Stopping Tasks on page 13-6 for information on
stopping a task. In the following example, the
container
reconfigure command with the /restart switch restarts a
container reconfigure task on container 1:
HPN0> container reconfigure /restart=TRUE /wait=TRUE 1
Executing: container reconfigure /restart=TRUE /wait=TRUE 1
Understanding How to Reconfigure a Container
This section provides an example that describes how to reconfigure
a container. The example shows how to reconfigure a volume set
into a stripe set.
Before reconfiguring a container’s type, use the container list
command to display information about your containers, as in the
following example. In the example, the Type column indicates a
Volume
set on container 0.
