Container Readwrite - Adaptec AAR-21610SA Reference Manual

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
{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array to make read-
write.
Examples
Before making an array read-write, use the container list
command (with the /full switch) to obtain information about
any existing arrays. As the following example shows, there is an
array 0 (a volume set) on this controller. Note that the RO column
displays the value RO:
AAC0>container list /full
Executing: container list /full=TRUE
Num
Dr Label Type
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- --------
F: 0 Volume 10.0MB
Note that the example eliminates some items in the container
list display so that you can see an example of the RO column.
The following example changes array 0 from read-only status to
read-write status:
AAC0>container readwrite 0
Executing: container readwrite 0
Use the container list command (with the /full switch)
after using the container readwrite command to display
information about the array you just made read-write, as in the
following example:
AAC0>container list /full
Executing: container list /full=TRUE
Num
Dr Label Type
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- --------
F: 0 Volume 10.0MB
