ADD VOLUME and SUBVOLUME Commands
ADD VOLUME creates one or more volume authorization records. ADD SUBVOLUME 
creates one or more subvolume authorization records. After an authorization record is 
created for a volume or subvolume, all attempts to create a disk file on the volume or 
subvolume are subject to a Safeguard authorization check and, optionally, to 
Safeguard auditing.
By default, only a local super group user can add a volume authorization record, but 
any local user can add a subvolume authorization record. For more information, see 
SUBVOLUME on page 12-2 and VOLUME on page 12-2.
You can use SET VOLUME or SET SUBVOLUME to establish a set of default attribute 
values. Then use either ADD VOLUME or ADD SUBVOLUME to name the volume or 
subvolume to which the default attribute values are to be applied. You can also specify 
values for volume or subvolume attributes in your ADD command. The current default 
values are used for any attributes not specified in the ADD command. 
ADD VOLUME volume-list [ , ]

ADD SUBVOLUME subvol-list [ , ]
