Modifying Containers
To work with extending a volume set, you must understand:
■ The extend volume set attributes you can specify
■ How to extend a volume set
■ Extending a volume set in a UNIX environment
Understanding the Extend Volume Set Attributes You can Specify
You use the container extend volume command to extend a
volume set. Before extending a volume set, consider the following
attribute you can specify:
■ freespace
Specifying Freespace
The freespace attribute indicates the devices and associated
freespaces used to extend the specified volume set. You can specify
up to 16 freespaces.
In the following example, the container extend volume
command uses 100MB of freespace from SCSI devices (0,2,0) and
(0,3,0)
to extend the volume set on container 1:
HPN0> container extend volume 1 ((0,2,0), 100M) ((0,3,0), 100M)
Executing: container extend volume 1
((CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
((CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
Container 1 expanded.
Understanding How to Extend a Volume Set
This section provides an example that describes how to extend a
volume set.
Before extending a volume set, use the container list command
to display information about your containers, as in the following
example. In the example, the Total Size column indicates that
container 0 is 100MB (megabytes) in size. The Scsi C:ID:L column
indicates that container 0 occupies space on SCSI device 2:01:0.
