ADD DISK Command
[ , TYPE { MAGNETIC | VIRTUAL } ]
[ , VOLNAME name ]
[ , WRITEVERIFY { ON| OFF } ]
ALTNAME $vol
is an alternate volume name for the disk. This attribute changes the alternate
volume name on the label of the disk but does not change the system configuration
database.
If the storage subsystem tries to start a volume but the default volume name is
already in use, the volume is started using the alternate volume name. If the
alternate volume name is also in use, the storage subsystem uses the volume
name in the system configuration database, and the disk is left in the DOWN state.
To use this attribute, see Naming a Magnetic Disk on page 6-26.
AUDITTRAILBUFFER number
(TMF audit-trail volumes only) is the audit-trail buffer size (in megabytes) for an
audit volume. This value improves the performance of systems that use the
Remote Duplicate Database Facility. number is in the range 0 (no buffer specified)
through 768. The default is 0. Do not use this attribute for SQL/MX volumes.
If you specify too large or small a value, DP2 automatically sets the needed size.
If you specify a value of 0, DP2 automatically sets the size of the DP2 audit-trail
volume log cache, which defaults to 1 MB, that is, 256 audit-trail buffers.
AUTOREVIVE { ON | OFF }
(mirrored disks only) specifies whether to automatically start a revive operation on
a mirrored volume either when a new disk is inserted or when the system is loaded
and a mirrored volume is not synchronized.
For information about using this attribute, see Configuring Internal Mirrored
Magnetic Disks to Revive Automatically on page 6-13.
AUTOSELECT { ON | OFF }
specifies whether a virtual disk process is allowed to automatically consider this
physical volume when making file-placement decisions. This attribute is valid only
when this physical volume is a member of a storage pool.
ON automatically starts a revive operation using the values for
the REVIVEPRIORITY and REVIVERATE attributes.
OFF does not automatically start a revive operation (default).
ON enables automatic selection (default).
OFF disables automatic selection.
