container Commands container promote To create a multilevel volume set from a stripe set or volume set, use the container promote command. In this case, the resulting array is an array of single-partition volume sets, each of which has a single partition from the original array. Typically, you use the container promote command as part of a process to provide fault tolerance for existing volume sets. After container promote is executed, use container create mmirror (which provides the fault tolerance) to make this array an array of mirror sets. Notes The container promote command differs from the container add_level command as follows: ■ The container create volume command creates a singlelevel array. ■ If you use the container add_level command and specify the ID for a single-level volume set, the result is a volume set with two partitions. ■ If you use the container promote command and specify the ID for a single-level volume set, the result is a multilevel volume set (a volume set with two volumes under it). Syntax container promote {container} Parameters {container} Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array to promote into a multilevel array. 5-69
