Container (Array) Commands
Before working with arrays, you must have previously opened the
controller. In addition, you must have initialized your disk(s) to
prepare for array operations.
The following commands are used to display, create, and manage
arrays.
Command Summary:
container add_level {container}
Creates a multilevel volume array which contains the array
as its only element.
Parameters
{container}—ID of the array to convert to a multilevel
volume.
container clear [/always{=boolean}]
[/wait{=boolean}] {container}
Clears the array.
Parameters
{container}—ID of the array to clear.
Switches
/always—Specifies whether to clear the array even if it has
data on it. The default is FALSE, meaning that the command
clears the array only if it has no data on it. All user files must
be closed; the /always switch cannot override this
restriction.
/wait—Specifies whether to clear the array synchronously
and not return the command prompt until the clear array
task completes. The default is FALSE, meaning that the
command clears the array asynchronously and the
command prompt returns immediately.
