Stripe, chunk—Contiguous set of data distributed across all the disks in an array. A striped array distributes data evenly across all members in equal-sized sections called stripes. Free or available space—Space on an initialized disk that is not in use. Partition—Contiguous area of a physical drive that makes up some or all of an array.
Page 12: Command Syntax
To exit subcommand mode, press Enter. (You may have to press Enter more than once to exit subcommand mode.) CLI-unique commands For NetWare systems, the following commands are unique to the CLI in that you use these commands when accessing the CLI from the NetWare server console: open close...
Page 13: Action
Introduction Action An action specifies an operation to be performed by the CLI, such as open, create, list, exit, or show. An action is a required element, except in subcommand mode. In most cases, actions are preceded by a class and followed by an object, switches, and parameters. Object An object describes what to use in an action.
Page 14: Parameter
Parameter Although some commands have optional parameters, parameters are usually mandatory. You must place optional parameters after mandatory parameters at the end of the command. For example, the array remove failover command has one required scsi_device parameter and additional optional scsi_device parameters: array remove failover {array} {scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...].
Page 15: Integer
integer An integer is a positive or negative number that has a value between –2 and (2 much smaller, all integers have 64 bits of precision and do not contain decimal points. You can specify an integer as a mathematical equation that uses an asterisk (*) to multiply, a plus sign (+) to add, a minus sign (–) to subtract, a slash (/) to divide, and parentheses [( )] to specify order of operations.
Page 16: String
Table 1-2 lists examples of valid integers and their corresponding values: Table 1-2 Integers and Values (in Decimal) Integer (5+3*24) (5+(3*24)) 0x123 (12+52h+1010z) 100M string You can specify a text string with or without quotation marks. If spaces are needed, however, the string must be specified with quotation marks;...
Page 17: Scsi_Device
scsi_device Specifies a SCSI device. SCSI device descriptions have three parts: SCSI channel number, SCSI device ID, and SCSI device logical unit number (LUN). The following syntax defines the scsi_device parameter: ({integer},{integer},{integer}) Each integer corresponds to one component of a SCSI device descriptor or specifier: the first integer is the SCSI channel number, the second integer is the SCSI device ID, and the third integer is the SCSI device LUN.
Page 18: Free_Space
Table 1-5 displays valid SCSI device specifiers. The second two examples contain a default LUN number, and the last two examples contain default channel and LUN numbers. You can specify these defaults using the disk set default command (see page 5-11).

Page 27 history_size To set the size of the command history buffer, use the history_size command. Command Availability This command is supported only on UNIX. Syntax history_size {buffer_size} Parameters {buffer_size} Specifies the size of the command history buffer. The default size is 200. General Control Commands...
Page 28: Open
open To open a controller, use the open command. The open command prepares a particular controller for access by the CLI. If you specify this command when another controller is open during a particular command session, the CLI closes the currently opened controller and then opens the specified controller.
Page 29 /domain{=string} Specifies the domain (the local domain or a trusted domain) in which the specified computer that contains the controller resides. If you do not specify this switch, the CLI assumes the local domain. This switch is supported on Windows only. Note: You can open controllers for read-write access in any GUI or CLI session only once per controller.
Page 30: Reset_Window
General Control Commands reset_window To reset the window, use the reset_window command. Command Availability This command is supported only on UNIX. Syntax reset_window...
Page 31: Toggle_More
General Control Commands toggle_more To turn on or off the <Press any key to continue> functionality, use the toggle_more command. After you type toggle_more on the NetWare console, the command displays an appropriate message indicating whether the <Press any key to continue> functionality is on or off. Command Availability This command is supported only on NetWare.

Page 34: Container Add_Level
container add_level To create a multilevel volume set from an existing array by adding a volume set on top of the array, use the container add_level command. The existing array cannot be a multilevel array. The container add_level command enables dynamic expansion of an array and can be executed even while an array is in use.
Page 35 Use the container list command after using the container add_level command to display information about the multilevel volume set, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Volume 45MB Stripe 45MB The following list describes the change to the display as a result of...
Page 36: Container Create Mirror
container create mirror To create a mirror set from a single-partition volume set and freespace, use the container create mirror command. Any data on the original volume set remains intact during mirror creation and the user sees no interruption in service. If you created a mirror set on a NetWare server, you can run the list devices command on the NetWare console to verify its creation and then create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and...
Page 37 Switches /wait{=boolean} Specifies whether to create the mirror set synchronously. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command prompt does not return until the mirror-set creation completes. If you set this switch to FALSE, the mirror-set creation starts asynchronously and the command prompt returns immediately.
Page 38 Use the container list command after the container create mirror command completes execution to display information about the mirror set, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Mirror 10MB The following list describes the changes to the display as a result of using the container create mirror command:...
Page 39: Container Create Mmirror
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.
Page 40 {scsi_device} Specifies the ID for the SCSI device whose freespace you want to use to create the multilevel array of mirror sets. The size of this freespace should be greater than or equal to the size of the first underlying volume set. A SCSI ID consists of a SCSI bus number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), SCSI device ID (0 through 15 inclusive), and SCSI device logical unit number (0 through 7 inclusive).
Page 41 Examples Before creating a multilevel array of mirror sets, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, array 0 is a volume set that consists of two underlying volume sets created with the container promote command: AAC0>container list Executing: container list...
Page 42 The following list describes the change to the display as the result of creating a multilevel array of mirror sets with the container create mmirror command: The Dr column is blank to indicate that the newly created mirror sets (63 and 62) do not have a drive letter assigned to them.
Page 43: Container Create Mstripe
container create mstripe To create a multilevel stripe set from equally sized arrays, use the container create mstripe command. The top level of a multilevel stripe array can only be a stripe set. You can create the following types of multilevel stripe set: Stripe set of mirror sets Stripe set of volume sets Stripe set of stripe sets...
Page 44 {container}... Specifies the ID number or numbers (0 to 63) of one or more arrays from which you want to create the multilevel stripe set. You can use up to 16 arrays to create a multilevel stripe set. All specified arrays must be the same size as the first parameter and separated by blank spaces.
Page 45 The following example shows how to create a multilevel stripe set from two equally sized arrays, using the default stripe size of 64 KB. In this example, the two equally sized arrays are mirror sets: AAC0>container create mstripe 0 1 Executing: container create mstripe 0 1 container 0 created On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the...
Page 46 The Total Size column displays the total size for the multilevel stripe set. This size is the total of all the underlying arrays. In the example, the total size for array 0 (the multilevel stripe set) is the sum of the two underlying arrays (30 MB).
Page 47 Related Commands container commands: container create mirror container list container set label (page 3-5) (page 3-50) (page 3-101) container Commands 3-16...
Page 48: Container Create Mvolume
container create mvolume To create a multilevel volume set, use the container create mvolume command. You can create the following types of multilevel volume sets: Volume set of stripe sets Volume set of mirror sets Volume set of RAID 5 arrays Volume set of volume sets Notes When creating a multilevel array of volume sets on a NetWare...
Page 49 {container}... Specifies the ID (0 to 63) of one or more additional arrays from which you want to create the multilevel volume set. You can use up to 16 arrays. Typically, the additional arrays you specify are the same type as the first array. For example, if the first array is a stripe set then any subsequent arrays are also stripe sets.
Page 50 Use the container list command after using the container create mvolume command to display information about the multilevel array of volume sets after you create it, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Volume 60.0MB...
Page 51 The Stripe Size column displays the stripe size for each of the arrays that make up the multilevel volume set. You specify the stripe size when you create stripe sets and RAID 5 arrays. In the example, the stripe size is 32 KB. The Usage column displays None to indicate that the newly created multilevel volume set does not have a file system on it.
Page 52: Container Create Raid5
container create raid5 To create a RAID 5 array, use the container create raid5 command. The RAID 5 array must have a minimum of three disks. When creating the RAID 5 array, you must initialize the array parity by using the scrub method (the /scrub switch). Notes If you created a RAID 5 array you can run the list devices command on the NetWare console to verify its creation and then...
Page 53 Switches /cache{=boolean} Specifies whether to enable the array’s raw array cache. You can use this switch only if a native operating system’s file system (for Windows, the NTFS or FAT file system) resides on the array. If you do not want to enable the RAID 5 array’s raw array cache when you create it, you can do so later by using the container set cache command.
Page 54 /clear{=boolean} Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation by clearing the entire RAID 5 array. If you specify TRUE, the command sets up the parity during RAID-5 creation by clearing the RAID 5 array. The default is FALSE; the command does not clear the entire RAID 5 array.
Page 55 /scrub{=boolean} Specifies whether to set up the parity during RAID-5 creation by scrubbing the RAID 5 array. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command sets up the parity by scrubbing the RAID 5 array. Although the drive is immediately available, it is not parity-protected until the background scrub action completes.
Page 56 As the command executes, note that the title bar of the MS-DOS window displays the status of the command. For example: Stat:OK!Task:101,Func:R5S Ctr:0,State:RUN 84.6% For further details on status information, see On UNIX systems, the message displayed after you execute the container create raid5 command includes the root special file associated with the newly created RAID 5 array.
Page 57 The Usage column displays None to indicate that the newly created RAID 5 array does not have a file system on it.To create an NTFS or FAT file system on an array, use the container format command. The State column displays the state of an array, which in the example shows Unprot to indicate that the RAID 5 array is not yet redundant.
Page 58: Container Create Stripe
container create stripe To create a stripe set from freespace, use the container create stripe command. Notes If you created a stripe set 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.
Page 59 Switches /cache{=boolean} Specifies whether to enable the array’s raw array cache.You can use this switch only if a native operating system’s file system (for Windows, the NTFS or FAT file system) resides on the array. If you do not want to enable the stripe set’s raw array cache when you create it, you can do so later by using the container set cache command.
Page 60 /label{=string} Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created array. You can specify a maximum of sixteen characters for the label. If you do not specify the switch, it defaults to no label. If you do not specify a label, you can do so later by using the container set label command.
Page 61 Use the container list command after using the container create stripe command to display information about the array, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Stripe 45.0MB The following list describes the items in the display that contain information as the result of creating a array with the container...
Page 62 The Partition Offset: Size column displays the partition offset(s) and the size(s) for the disk(s) whose associated freespaces you used to create the array. In this example, the display shows 64.0KB:15MB, 64.0KB:15.0MB, and 64.0KB:15.0MB. Related Commands container commands: container create mstripe container create mvolume container list container set cache...
Page 63: Container Create Volume
container create volume To create a volume set from freespace, use the container create volume command. Notes If you created a volume set 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.
Page 64 {scsi_device},{free_space}... Specifies any additional SCSI devices and associated freespaces used to create the volume set. A volume set can have a maximum of 16 partitions (or freespaces, since each freespace becomes a partition). Note that you must explicitly specify the entire ID for any additional SCSI devices (the SCSI channel number, device ID, and device logical unit number).
Page 65 /label{=string} Specifies a label to be assigned to the newly created volume set. You can specify a maximum of sixteen characters for the label. If you do not specify the switch, it defaults to no label. If you do not specify a label, you can do so later by using the container set label command.
Page 66 Use the container list command after executing the container create volume command to display information about the volume set, as in the following example: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Volume 15.0MB The following list describes the columns that contain information as the result of creating a volume set with the container create...

Page 68: Container Delete
container delete To delete an array from the currently opened controller, use the container delete command. Notes If you are deleting an array on a NetWare system, you must first go to the NetWare console and remove the corresponding volume and partition.
Page 69 /unconditional{=boolean} Specifies whether to delete the array, even if the array has open files on it. If you specify TRUE, the command deletes the array even if it has open files on it. The switch defaults to FALSE (that is, the container delete command does not delete an array that has open files on it).

Page 71: Container Extend File_System
container extend file_system To extend a file system so that it uses all of the space in an array, use the container extend file_system command. This command allows you to extend the NTFS file system. Typically, you use this command after extending an array (by adding a level to it with the container add_level command and, possibly, by extending it with the container extend mvolume command).
Page 72 Parameters {container} Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array whose file system you want to extend. Examples Typically, you would use the container extend file_system command after adding a level to an array and, perhaps, after extending a multilevel volume set. Before extending a file system, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays: AAC0>container list...
Page 73 container Commands The following example extends the NTFS file system to make use of the additional arrays: AAC0>container extend file_system 0 Executing: container extend file_system 0 The system has been marked to expand the file system on the next reboot. Reboot the system to get the file system to expand to show the new space.
Page 74: Container Extend Mvolume
container extend mvolume To extend a multilevel volume set by adding one or more arrays to it, use the container extend mvolume command. Any file system on the multilevel volume set remains intact, and can be extended to include the added space. Command and Switch Availability This command is supported on Windows.
Page 75 Examples Before extending a multilevel volume set, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a multilevel volume set) on this controller. In addition, the example shows array 1 and array 2 (both volume sets created with the container create volume command).
Page 76 The following list describes the change to the display as the result of extending a multilevel array with the container extend mvolume command: The Num Label column continues to display the ID number (0) of the volume set previously created with the container create volume command and the ID number (63) of the volume set previously created with the container add_level command.

Page 78: Container Extend Volume
container extend volume To extend a volume set by adding freespace to it, use the container extend volume command. The file system on the volume set remains intact and can be extended to include the added space. Command and Switch Availability This command is supported on Windows.
Page 79 Before extending the volume set, you might want to use the command to display space usage information on the show space SCSI devices from which you plan to add freespace. The following example extends a volume set by adding freespace from two SCSI devices: AAC0>container extend volume 1 ((2,0,0), 32M) ((2,1,0), 32M) Executing: container extend volume 1...
Page 80 The Partition Offset:Size column displays the partition offset(s) and size(s) for the partition(s) associated with the extended volume set. In the example the partition offsets and sizes are 64.0 KB and 32.0 MB. If a partition is dead, the “:” (colon) in the Partition Offset:Size column changes to a “!”...
Page 81: Container List
container list To display information about one or all arrays on the controller, use the container list command. The display contains such information as the container’s ID number and other useful information. Typically, you use the container list command to obtain specific information about arrays prior to using other array- related commands.
Page 82 Examples The following example shows how to list nondetailed information about all arrays on the system: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Volume 15.0MB Stripe 45.0MB The detailed container list display contains the previous columns of information plus the following columns: State Task...
Page 83 This column also displays the label assigned to the array when the array was created. If no label was assigned to the array then no label appears in the column. You can assign labels with the following commands: container create mstripe container create mvolume container create raid5 container create stripe...
Page 84: Related Commands
The Reconf array type does not appear on UNIX systems. The Total Size Column This column displays the size of the array. You specify this size when creating the array with one of the container create- related commands. The Stripe Size Column This column displays the stripe size for the array.
Page 85 The Scsi :ID:L Column This column displays the SCSI channel number, the SCSI ID, and the SCSI logical unit number for the SCSI disk or disks on which the array was created. The Partition Offset:Size Column This column displays the offset and size for the underlying partitions.
Page 86 The RO Column This column displays the letters RO if the array is read-only. Otherwise, if the array is read-write the column displays a blank space. You can explicitly make an array read-only and read-write with the container readonly and container readwrite commands.
Page 87 Table 3-4 Task Types (Continued) Task Meaning A rebuild task is running on the specified array. Typically, the Rebuild rebuild task runs when the controller is in a rebuild for a redundant array (RAID 5 array, mirror set, or multilevel array of mirror sets).
Page 88 The Done % Column This column displays a running percentage value that indicates the progress of the currently running task. The display shows the percentage in tenths of a percent increments. The currently running task is complete when the Done % column displays 100%. The Ent Column This column displays the number of elements associated with each array.
Page 89 The Boot Device Column This column displays a value that indicates whether the array resides on the boot device. An X appears in the column if the array resides on the boot device. Otherwise, if the array does not reside on the boot device, no value appears in the column.
Page 90: Container Lock
container lock Caution: Use the container lock command only under the direction of technical support. To lock an array into volatile memory space on the currently opened controller, use the container lock command. When an array is locked into volatile memory space, the container reconfigure command has no effect.
Page 91 Use the container list command (with the /full switch) after using the container lock command to display information about the array you just locked, as in the following example: AAC0>container list /full Executing: container list /full=TRUE Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- -------- F: 0...
Page 92: Container Move
container move To renumber an array, use the container move command. If another array already has the new number, the command returns an error. Notes A controller currently supports 24 visible arrays. A visible array is an array that is visible to the operating system and users. Visible arrays are identified with container IDs 0 through 23.
Page 93 Examples Before renumbering an array, use the container list command to obtain information about any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a volume set) on this controller: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- F: 0...
Page 94: Container Promote
container promote To create a multilevel volume set from a stripe set or volume set, use the container promote command. In this case, the resulting array is an array of single-partition volume sets, each of which has a single partition from the original array. Typically, you use the container promote command as part of a process to provide fault tolerance for existing volume sets.
Page 95 As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a stripe set) on this controller: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- Stripe 45.0MB The following example promotes array 0 to a multilevel array: AAC0>container promote 0 Executing: container promote 0 Use the container list command after using the container...
Page 96 The Scsi C:ID:L column displays the SCSI channel number, SCSI device ID, and SCSI logical unit number for the underlying arrays. In the example, array 63 resides on disk 0:02:0, array 62 resides on disk 0:03:0, and array 61 resides on disk 0:04:0.
Page 97: Container Readonly
container readonly To change an array’s read-write status to read-only status, use the container readonly command. Subsequent modifications to the data on the array are prohibited. To use the container readonly command, the array cannot be in use by any application.
Page 98 Use the container list command (with the /full switch) after using the container readonly information about the array you just made read-only, as in the following example: AAC0>container list /full Executing: container list /full=TRUE Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- -------- F: 0 Volume 10.0MB Note that the example eliminates some items in the container...
Page 99: Container Readwrite
container readwrite To change an array’s read-only status to read-write status, use the container readwrite command. Subsequent modifications to the data on the array are allowed. To use the container readwrite command, none of the array’s files can be open. Syntax container readwrite {container} Parameters...
Page 100 Note that the example eliminates some items in the container list display so that you can see an example of the RO column. As a result of making an array (in this example, array 0) read-write with the container readwrite command, the RO column displays blank (instead of an RO) to indicate that the specified array is now read-write.
Page 101: Container Reconfigure
container reconfigure To change the configuration of an array, use the container reconfigure command. The container reconfigure command allows you to perform the following operations: Transform an array from one type to another type You can transform an array from one type to another type. For example, you can transform a RAID 1 to a RAID 5 array.
Page 102 Move partitions to other disks You can move an array’s partitions to other disks by specifying the appropriate switches with a valid partition or partitions. For example, you can move three entries of a RAID 5 array to new disks. You can combine the previously listed operations.
Page 103 {scsi_device}... Specifies one or more SCSI devices. Typically, you specify one or more SCSI devices when adding more drives to an array or moving an array’s partitions. A SCSI ID consists of a SCSI channel number (for example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), a SCSI device ID (0 through 15 inclusive), and a SCSI device logical unit number (0 through 7 inclusive).

Page 108: Container Release_Cache
container release_cache To release the cache buffers associated with a specific array, use the container release_cache command. When a disk fails or you remove a disk, the cache buffers associated with specific arrays remain locked on the controller. This allows the opportunity for the disk to come back online or gives you the opportunity to replace the disk.
Page 109: Container Remove Drive_Letter
container remove drive_letter To remove a drive letter, use the container remove drive_letter command. To use the container remove drive_letter command, none of the array’s files can be open. Command Availability This command is supported on Windows. Syntax container remove drive_letter {string} Parameters {string} Specifies the drive letter to remove.

Page 117: Container Restore Raid5
container restore RAID5 To restore a RAID 5 array, use the container restore RAID5 command. Typically, you use this command to restore a RAID 5 array that contains one or more dead partitions. This command does not always succeed; therefore, use it only if all other measures fail.
Page 118 Use the container list command after using the container restore RAID5 command to display information about the RAID 5 array: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- RAID-5 30.0MB Note that in this case the command successfully restored the RAID 5 array as indicated by the replacement of the exclamation point (“!”) with a colon (“:”).
Page 119: Container Scrub
container scrub To scrub a redundant array, use the container scrub command. A mirror set, a multilevel array of mirror sets, and a RAID 5 array are examples of redundant arrays. For a mirror set or a multilevel array of mirror sets, this means the command reconstructs the data on both mirror halves (partitions), if found to be different.
Page 120 /wait{=boolean} Specifies whether the command performs the scrub action synchronously or asynchronously. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command performs the scrub action synchronously, which means the command prompt does not return until the scrub action completes. If you set this switch to FALSE, the command performs the scrub action asynchronously, which means the command prompt returns immediately.

Page 122: Container Set Cache
container set cache To set cache parameters for a specific array, use the container set cache command. You can use this command only if a native operating system’s file system (for Windows, NTFS, or FAT) resides on the array. The CLI prevents you from setting cache parameters if the array is involved in a reconfiguration operation.
Page 123 Switches /read_cache_enable{=boolean} Specifies whether to enable the read-ahead cache. If you set this switch to TRUE, the command enables the read-ahead cache for the specified array. This switch should always be enabled to optimize performance, unless your application-- which is unlikely--is doing completely random reads. This switch defaults to TRUE.

Page 126: Container Set Failover
container set failover To assign an automatic failover disk(s) for a single array, use the container set failover command. If the array was already assigned a failover disk(s), the command adds the specified disk(s) to the array’s list of failover disk(s). Although all array types accept failover assignments, only mirror set and RAID 5 array (redundant) array types use the failover assignment if a disk fails.
Page 127 As the following example shows, there is an array 0 (a mirror set) on this controller: AAC0>container list Executing: container list Total Dr Label Type Size -- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ ------------- D: 0 Mirror 10.0MB The following example assigns two SCSI failover disks to array 0. If you assign only one SCSI disk as a failover device, ensure that there is sufficient freespace.
