container Commands /unconditional{=boolean} Specifies whether to delete the array, even if the array has open files on it. If you specify TRUE, the command deletes the array even if it has open files on it. The switch defaults to FALSE (that is, the container delete command does not delete an array that has open files on it). WARNING: Unconditionally deleting an array that is in use can cause a system crash under some circumstances. Examples Before deleting an array, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a multilevel volume set) on this controller: 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 40.0MB NTFS 63 Volume 10.0MB 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB 62 Volume 15.0MB 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB 61 Volume 15.0MB 0:04:0 64.0KB: 10.0MB The following example shows how to delete array 0 using the / always switch to indicate a delete even though the array has a file system: AAC0>container delete /always=TRUE 0 Executing: container delete /always=TRUE 0 Use the container list command after using the container delete command to confirm that the command actually deleted the specified array, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list No containers found. 5-41

container Commands
/unconditional{=boolean}
Specifies whether to delete the array, even if the array has open
files on it. If you specify
TRUE
, the command deletes the array
even if it has open files on it.
The switch defaults to
FALSE
(that is, the
container
delete
command does not delete an array that has open files
on it).
WARNING:
Unconditionally deleting an array that is in use
can cause a system crash under some circumstances.
Examples
Before deleting an array, use the
container list
command
to
obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following
example shows, there is an array 0 (a multilevel volume set) on this
controller:
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 40.0MB
NTFS

Volume 10.0MB
0:02:0 64.0KB:

0:02:0 64.0KB:

61
Volume 15.0MB
0:04:0 64.0KB:

The following example shows how to delete array 0 using the
/
always
switch to indicate a delete even though the array has a file
system:
AAC0>container delete /always=TRUE 0
Executing: container delete /always=TRUE 0
Use the
container list
command after using the
container
delete
command to confirm that the command actually deleted
the specified array, as in the following example:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
No containers found.
