Container Promote; Notes; Syntax; Parameters - Adaptec RAID 2810SA Software Reference Manual

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. After
container promote is executed, use container create
mmirror (which provides the fault tolerance) to make this array an
array of mirror sets.

Notes

The container promote command differs from the container
add_level command as follows:
The container create volume command creates a single-
level array.
If you use the container add_level command and specify
the ID for a single-level volume set, the result is a volume set
with two partitions.
If you use the container promote command and specify
the ID for a single-level volume set, the result is a multilevel
volume set (a volume set with two volumes under it).

Syntax

container promote {container}

Parameters

{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array to promote into a
multilevel array.
