Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide Examples Before creating a multilevel stripe set, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there are two existing arrays (mirror sets) on this controller at the time the multilevel stripe set is created. These mirror sets were previously created with the container create mirror command.

Examples
Before creating a multilevel stripe set, use the
container list
command
to obtain information about any existing arrays.
As the following example shows, there are two existing arrays
(mirror sets) on this controller at the time the multilevel stripe set is
created. These mirror sets were previously created with the
container create mirror
command.

The following example shows how to create a multilevel stripe set
from two equally sized arrays, using the default stripe size of 64 KB.
In this example, the two equally sized arrays are mirror sets:
AAC0>container create mstripe 0 1
Executing: container create mstripe 0 1
container 0 created
On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the
container create mstripe
command includes the root special
file associated with the newly created multilevel stripe set.
Use the
container list
command after using the
container
create mstripe
command to display information about the
multilevel stripe set, as in the following example:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
