container Commands container split To split a mirror set or a multilevel array of mirror sets into two separate single-partition volume sets or two multilevel arrays of single-partition volume sets, use the container split command. Once this command completes execution, the two volume sets cannot be merged. Before using this command to split an array, shut down system applications (such as, databases) in order to flush application data to the controller. When you split a mirror set or a multilevel array of mirror sets, the system creates a new (referred to as the split) array. The split array contains half of the storage data from the original (referred to as the master) array (mirror set). In addition, the split array has an identical copy of the data from the old disk at the time of the split operation. On Windows NT/Windows 2000 (basic disk only)/Windows XP (basic disk only), the split array's file system may be inconsistent and you should verify and repair it as follows: ■ Assign a drive letter to the split array using the container assign drive_letter command. ■ Run the Windows NT/Windows 2000 (basic disk only)/ Windows XP (basic disk only) CHKDSK command with the /F switch. See your Windows documentation for information on how to use the CHKDSK command. On UnixWare, before splitting a mirror set that contains a volume table of contents, run the edvtoc command and change the volume label to a series of twelve spaces. You can then use the container split command to split the mirror set. Syntax container split {container} 5-117
