Command Line Interface User’s Guide
To change a volume set to a stripe set, use the container
reconfigure command with the /stripe switch, as in the following
example. In the example, the /stripe switch causes the existing
volume set on container 0 to be changed to a stripe set. A stripe size
is not specified, so the default stripe size of 32K (kilobytes) is used.
HPN0> container reconfigure /stripe=TRUE 0
Executing: container reconfigure /stripe=TRUE 0
After running the container reconfigure command to change
a container’s type, use the container list command to display
information about the container, as in the following example. In the
example, the Type column indicates that container 0 is now a Stripe
set. The Stripe Size column indicates that the stripe size is 32KB
(kilobytes).

Understanding Container Reconfiguration in a UNIX
Environment
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container reconfigure command includes the root special file
associated with the newly reconfigured container.
When you perform a container reconfigure operation on a UNIX
operating system you may see a resource conflict-related error.
Typically, this error occurs when there is not enough space on the
disk to perform the reconfigure operation. To correct the problem,
use another disk (with more space) to perform the reconfigure
operation.
Working with Container Promotion
The CLI allows you to promote a container through the use of the
container promote command. The container promote
command allows you to promote a stripe set of volume sets to a
multi-level volume set. The
container promote command
results in a container of single-partition volume sets, each of which
has a single partition from the original container.
