Working with Disksets
Creating a Diskset
You use the disk_set create command to create a diskset. When
you create a diskset, you specify the disks that are to comprise the
diskset. Only disksets, not individual disks, can be attached to a
controller in a cluster environment. See the Flexible Storage Array Tool
User’s Guide for information on diskset concepts. Once a diskset has
been created, it must be attached to a controller before it can be used.
See Attaching a Diskset on page 5-18 for information on attaching a
diskset.
Before creating a diskset, use the disk_set list command to
display information about your disksets, as in the following
example. In the example, the columns are blank, indicating that no
diskset exists. Note that the example alters the
disk_set list
output so that the data can fit on the page.

To create a diskset, use the disk_set create command with the
/label switch, as in the following example. In the example, a
diskset is created using SCSI devices (2,0,0) and (2,1,0). The /label
switch assigns Saturn as the diskset label. The command assigns the
diskset a Diskset ID of 0x01be868c1d74a640 and an Ownership ID
of \\.\HPN0.
