On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container promote
command includes the root special file
associated with the newly reconfigured container.
Working with Adding a Level to a Container
The CLI allows you to add a level to a container. The container add
level feature creates a multi-level volume set on top of an existing
container. The existing container cannot be a multi-level container.
You
use the
container add_level
command to add a level to a
container. The
container add_level
command can be executed
while the container is in use.
