Displaying Information about Your Disks
Before creating any array, use the
disk show space command to
display information about your disks.
Note: Before you can create arrays, you need to initialize the
member drives.
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
Executing: disk show space

0:01:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
0:02:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
0:03:0 Free 64.0KB:8.47GB
0:04:0

Displaying Information about Your Array
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.
AAC0> container list

Creating a Volume Set
To create a volume set, use the
container create volume command.
In the following example, Volume 0 is created on device 0:01:0 from
100 MB (megabytes) of available space. The array’s cache is
enabled, and the label is Venus.
AAC0> container create volume /cache=TRUE /label=Venus ((0,01,0), 100M)
Executing: container create volume /cache=TRUE /
label=Venus ((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600)
