Considerations for ADD POOL

•
The $ZSMS SMF Master Process must be in the STARTED state.
Example
1. Configure the pool process:
-> ADD POOL $POOL00, SENDTO STORAGE, PRIMARYCPU 6, &
-> BACKUPCPU 7
2. Verify the configuration:
-> INFO $POOL00
3. See Starting a Storage Pool.
Example Adding a Similar Pool Process Using the LIKE
Attribute
To add another pool process similar to an existing process, use the LIKE attribute:
-> ADD POOL $POOL01, SENDTO STORAGE, LIKE $POOL00
