container Commands container create mmirror To create a multilevel array of mirror sets from a multilevel array of single-partition volume sets and freespace, use the container create mmirror command. Typically, you use this command after promoting a volume set built from multiple partitions with the container promote command. The container create mmirror command is fully dynamic. If you use this command, users will not see any change or experience any interruption in service. However, performance may be reduced. Notes When creating a multilevel array of mirror sets on a NetWare server, you specify the container IDs (as described in the Parameters section) for the arrays from which you want to create the multilevel mirror set. If NetWare is using any of these arrays, an appropriate message displays. This message indicates that one or more of the arrays you specified is in use by NetWare. The message directs you to remove any NetWare volumes and partitions from these arrays. You can then create a multilevel array of mirror sets on a NetWare server. After you create a multilevel array of mirror sets you can run the list devices command on the NetWare console to verify its creation and then create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and volumes. For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the appropriate NetWare documentation. Syntax container create mmirror [/io_delay{=integer}] [/ wait{=boolean}] {container} {scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...] Parameters {container} Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array whose underlying volume sets the command converts to mirror sets. You create a multilevel array of mirror sets from a multilevel array of single-partition volume sets and freespace. 5-9

container Commands
container create mmirror
To create a multilevel array of mirror sets from a multilevel array of
single-partition volume sets and freespace, use the
container
create mmirror
command. Typically, you use this command
after promoting a volume set built from multiple partitions with the
container promote
command.
The
container create mmirror
command is fully dynamic. If
you use this command, users will not see any change or experience
any interruption in service. However, performance may be reduced.
Notes
When creating a multilevel array of mirror sets on a NetWare server,
you specify the container IDs (as described in the Parameters
section) for the arrays from which you want to create the multilevel
mirror set. If NetWare is using any of these arrays, an appropriate
message displays. This message indicates that one or more of the
arrays you specified is in use by NetWare. The message directs you
to remove any NetWare volumes and partitions from these arrays.
You can then create a multilevel array of mirror sets on a NetWare
server.
After you create a multilevel array of mirror sets you can run the
list devices
command on the NetWare console to verify its
creation and then create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and
volumes.
For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the
appropriate NetWare documentation.
Syntax
container create mmirror [/io_delay{=integer}] [/
wait{=boolean}] {container} {scsi_device}
[{scsi_device}...]
Parameters
{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array whose
underlying volume sets the command converts to mirror sets.
You create a multilevel array of mirror sets from a multilevel
array of single-partition volume sets and freespace.
