Creating a Storage Pool
Creating a Storage Pool
You create a storage pool by creating a storage-pool file.
You can use any valid Guardian file identifier for the name of a storage-pool file.
However, you should not name a storage-pool file OSSPOOL so that your storage pool
definition is not overwritten by the sample file in a reinstallation or an upgrade of the
OSS environment.
To define the storage-pool file that is associated with a fileset record:
1. Use a Guardian text editor to create the storage-pool file.
The storage-pool file must be in the same subvolume ($SYSTEM.ZXOSSMON) as
the ZOSSFSET file.
2. Enter the names of disk volumes that will contain the OSS files in this fileset, one
disk volume name on each line. See The Storage-Pool Files on page 4-17 for the
rules about specifying disk volumes in storage-pool files.
3. Exit the editor.
