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. After executing the command, you can use the container
extend mvolume command to add more space.

Syntax

container add_level {container}

Parameters

{container}
Specifies the ID number (0 to 63) of the array to convert to a
multilevel volume set.
The specified array must not be a multilevel array.

Examples

Before creating 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 stripe set) on this
controller:
AAC0>container list
Executing: container list
Num Total Oth Stripe
Dr Label Type Size Ctr Size
-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------
0 Stripe 45MB
The following example creates a multilevel volume set on top of
array 0, which is a stripe set previously created with the container
create stripe command:
AAC0>container add_level 0
Executing: container add_level 0
