The ADD DISK Command (page 14-8) adds a virtual disk to the system configuration
database.
Considerations for ADD DISK and Virtual Disks
Before adding a virtual disk verify that:
•
The TMF product is running on the system.
•
These objects are in the STARTED state:
°
The magnetic disk volume used as a catalog by the SMF master process
°
The SMF master process ($ZSMS)
°
The storage pool process to be specified in the POOL attribute
°
The disk volume where the CATALOGLOCATION for the storage pool process
resides
Example
1. Add the virtual disk to the system configuration database and associate it with a
storage pool:
-> ADD DISK $VDISK00, SENDTO STORAGE, ANTLOCATION $SYSTEM, &
-> POOL $POOL01, PENDOPSLOCATION $SYSTEM, TYPE VIRTUAL
2. Verify the attributes recorded in the system configuration database:
-> INFO DISK $VDISK00
3. See Starting a Virtual Disk on page 10-12.
