Adding a Virtual Disk
Example Adding a Similar Disk Using the LIKE Attribute
To add another disk similar to an existing disk on the same system, you can use the
LIKE attribute. If the disk is an internal disk, specify a unique name and the group and
slot number:
-> ADD DISK $VDISK02, SENDTO STORAGE, LIKE $VDISK00, &
-> TYPE VIRTUAL, ANTLOCATION $DATA00, PENDOPSLOCATION $DATA00
Example Adding a Similar Disk Using the OBEYFORM
Attribute
To configure the same or a similar disk on another system, create a command file by
using the OBEYFORM attribute of the INFO DISK command. You can copy this file to
another system or add it to a different configuration file on the current system.
1. Capture the configuration for an existing virtual disk:
-> INFO / OUT LOG / $TECH, OBEYFORM
2. Optionally edit the resulting log file to:
•
Specify a unique disk name
•
Remove the subvolume and file name from ANTLOCATION and
PENDOPSLOCATION
3. Enter the log file contents either by copying and pasting into an SCF command line
or by using the log file as a command file.
