The following sections discuss each of these topics.
Understanding the Stripe Set of Mirror Sets Attributes You can Specify
You use the container create mstripe command to create a
stripe set of mirror sets. Before creating a stripe set of mirror sets,
consider the following attributes you can specify:
■ stripe size
■ container label
Specifying Stripe Size When Creating a Stripe Set of Mirror Sets
The stripe size attribute indicates the stripe size for a container.
Stripe size is the amount of data written to a partition before the I/O
data stream switches to the next partition in the stripe. The stripe
size can be 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, or 64 KB. You need to determine the
stripe size that is most suitable for your environment. Note that you
can use the container reconfigure command at a later time to
change the stripe size. See the container reconfigure
command in chapter Chapter 9, Modifying Containers, for a
description of the container reconfigure command. You
display the stripe size of a stripe set of mirror sets using the
container list command. See Understanding How to Create a
Stripe Set of Mirror Sets for information on the container list
command.
In the following example, the container create mstripe
command with the /stripe switch creates a stripe set of mirror sets
with a stripe size of 64 KB (kilobytes).
HPN0> container create mstripe /stripe=64K 0 1
Executing: container create mstripe /stripe_size=65,536 0 1
Container 0 created
Specifying a Label for a Stripe Set of Mirror Sets
The container label attribute identifies a name assigned to a
container. Note that this label is not the label that displays in
Windows Explorer and Disk Administrator. You can specify a label
