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.

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)
container 0 created
Creating a RAID 0
When creating a RAID 0, you need to determine the stripe size that
is most suitable for your environment. The stripe_size attribute
indicates the number of bytes in a stripe, the amount of data
written to a partition before the I/O data stream switches to the
next partition in the array.
The stripe size can be 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024; the default
is 256 KB. Note that you can change the stripe size later using the
container reconfigure command.
To create a RAID 0, use the container create stripe command. In
the following example, the Array 0 is created on device 0:01:0
from 100 MB of available space. The array's cache is enabled, and
the label is Mars.
AAC0> container create stripe /cache=TRUE /label=Mars ((0,01,0), 100M)
Executing: container create stripe /cache=TRUE
/label="Mars" ((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
