Understanding How to Add a Level to a Container
This section provides an example that describes how to add a level
to a container.
Before adding a level to a container, use the
container list
command to display information about your containers, as in the
following example. In the example, the Type column indicates that
container 0 is a RAID-5 set.
HPN0> container list
Executing: container list

0:01:0 64.0KB: 100MB
0:02:0 64.0KB: 100MB
0:03:0 64.0KB: 100MB
To add a level to a container, use the
container add_level
command, as in the following example. In the example, a multi-level
volume set is created on top of container 0, which is a previously-
created RAID-5 set.
HPN0> container add_level 0
Executing: container add_level 0
After running the
container add_level
command to add a level
to a container, use the
container list
command to display
information about the containers, as in the following example. In the
example, the Type column indicates a top-level Volume set, whose
container ID is 0, and an underlying RAID-5 set, whose container ID
is 63. (Container 63 is a hidden container.) These two containers
make up a volume set of RAID-5 sets.
