The following example shows the commands you would use to create Stripe1, a three- member stripeset:

Configuring a Mirrorset

See “Creating a Storageset and Device Profile,” page 3–5,for information about creating a profile and understanding the switches you can set for this kind of storage unit.

To configure a mirrorset:

1.Create the mirrorset by adding its name to the controller’s list of storagesets and specifying the disk drives it contains. Optionally, you can append Mirrorset switch values. If you do not specify switch values, default values are applied.

Use the following syntax to create a mirrorset:

ADD MIRRORSET mirrorset-name DISKnnnn DISKnnnn switch

See “ADD MIRRORSET,” page 5–11,for valid switches and values.

2.Initialize the mirrorset. If you want to set any Initialize switches, you must do so in this step. Use the following syntax:

INITIALIZE mirrorset-name switch

See “INITIALIZE,” page 5–62,for valid switches and values.
