5-6Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference GuideSwitches/wait{=boolean}Specifies whether to create the mirror set synchronously. Ifyou set this switch to TRUE, the command prompt does notreturn until the mirror-set creation completes. If you set thisswitch to FALSE, the mirror-set creation starts asynchronouslyand the command prompt returns immediately./io_delay{=integer}Specifies the number of milliseconds the controller waitsbetween the I/Os required to create the mirror set. If you donot specify this switch, the I/O delay is always zero (0). TheI/O delay value is not preserved between reboots of theoperating system.ExamplesBefore creating a mirror set, use the container list commandto obtain information about any existing arrays. As the followingexample shows, there is one existing array (array 0, a volume set) onthis controller prior to the time the mirror set is created:AAC0>container listExecuting: container listNum Total Oth Stripe Scsi PartitionDr Label Type Size Ctr Size Usage C:ID:L Offset:Size-- ----- ------ ------ --- ------ ------- ------ -------------F: 0 Volume 10MB NTFS 0:02:0 64.0KB: 10.0MBThe following example shows how to create a mirror setsynchronously from volume set 0 using freespace on SCSI device(0,3,0):AAC0>container create mirror /wait /io_delay=10 0(0,3,0)Executing: container create mirror /wait=TRUE/io_delay=10 0(CHANNEL=0, ID=3,LUN=0)As the command executes, note the title bar of the DOS windowdisplays the status of the command.
