container Commands Switches /wait{=boolean} Specifies whether to create the mirror set synchronously. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command prompt does not return until the mirror-set creation completes. If you set this switch to FALSE, the mirror-set creation starts asynchronously and the command prompt returns immediately. /io_delay{=integer} Specifies the number of milliseconds the controller waits between the I/Os required to create the mirror set. If you do not specify this switch, the I/O delay is always zero (0). The I/O delay value is not preserved between reboots of the operating system. Examples Before creating a mirror set, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is one existing array (array 0, a volume set) on this controller prior to the time the mirror set is created: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Num Total Oth Stripe Scsi Partition Dr Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size F: 0 Volume 10MB NTFS 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB The following example shows how to create a mirror set synchronously from volume set 0 using freespace on SCSI device (0,3,0): AAC0>container create mirror /wait /io_delay=10 0 (0,3,0) Executing: container create mirror /wait=TRUE /io_delay=10 0 (CHANNEL=0, ID=3,LUN=0) As the command executes, note the title bar of the DOS window displays the status of the command. For example: Stat:OK!Task:101,Func:MCR Ctr:0,State:RUN 97.2% For further details on status information, see page 1-13. 3-6
