Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide ■ The Type column displays the type name Volume for the newly created multilevel volume set. The Type column also displays the array type for the underlying arrays. In the example, Stripe appears in the Type column to indicate that the arrays that make up the multilevel volume set are stripe sets. ■ The Total Size column displays the total size for the multilevel volume set. This size is the total of all the underlying arrays. In the example, the total size for array 0 (the multilevel volume set) is the sum of the two underlying arrays (60 MB). The Total Size column also displays the sizes of all the underlying arrays. In the example, the size of array 63 (45 MB) and array 62 (15 MB) were specified when the stripe sets were created with the container create stripe command. ■ The Stripe Size column displays the stripe size for each of the arrays that make up the multilevel volume set. You specify the stripe size when you create stripe sets and RAID-5 sets. In the example, the stripe size is 32 KB. ■ The Usage column displays None to indicate that the newly created multilevel volume set does not have a file system on it. To create an NTFS or FAT file system on an array, use the container format command. ■ The Scsi C:ID:L column displays the SCSI device ID for the disk on which you created the multilevel volume set. It also displays the SCSI device ID(s) for the disk(s) on which the array(s) that make up the multilevel volume set reside. In the example, the display shows that array 63's partitions reside on three SCSI disks: 0:02:0, 0:03:0, and 0:04:0. array 62's partition resides on SCSI disk 0:05:0. ■ The Partition Offset: Size column displays the partition offset and the size of the arrays that make up the newly created multilevel volume set. In the example, the display shows that array 63 has a partition offset of 64 KB and a size of 15 MB on each of the three SCSI disks. array 62 has a partition offset of 64 KB and a size of 15 MB. You specify the partition offset and size when you create the underlying arrays. 5-22
