Using the Command Line Interface Before you can work with arrays, you must have previously opened the controller. In addition, you must have initialized your disk(s) to prepare for array operations. The minimum size of an array is 10 MB. Before creating any array, use the disk show space command to display information about your disks. In the following example, the Usage column indicates Free for each disk, which means that the space on each disk consists of available space.

Using the Command Line Interface
Before you can work with arrays, you must have previously
opened the controller. In addition, you must have initialized your
disk(s) to prepare for array operations.
The minimum size of an array is 10 MB.
Before creating any array, use the
disk show space
command
to display information about your disks. In the following example,
the
Usage
column indicates
Free
for each disk, which means that
the space on each disk consists of available space.
AAC0> disk show space

After creating an array, use the
container list
command to
display information about the array. In the following example, the
Num
Label
column indicates the array ID
0
and the array label
Venus
. The
Type
column indicates a
Volume
set. The
Total Size
column indicates that the array is
100 MB
.

Creating a Volume Set
To create a volume set, use the
container create volume
command. In the following example, the volume set
0
is created on
SCSI device (
2,01,0
) from
100MB
(megabytes) of available space.
The array’s raw cache is enabled, and the label
Venus
is specified.
AAC0> container create volume

2,01,0
),
