Considerations for START DISK and Virtual Disks
•
The disk specified must have a configuration record and a definition with the SMF
master process (as verified by the INFO and STATUS commands).
•
TMF must be running on the system.
•
These items must be started:
°
The SMF master process ($ZSMS)
°
The CATALOGLOCATION volume for the MON process (must also be enabled
by TMF)
°
The storage pool process specified by the POOL attribute
°
The CATALOGLOCATION volume of the storage pool process (must also be
enabled by TMF)
°
The ANTLOCATION and PENDOPSLOCATION volumes for the virtual disk
(must also be enabled by TMF and configured to be in a storage pool)
Example
1. Start the virtual disk process:
-> START $VDISK00
2. Verify the status of the started disk:
-> STATUS $VDISK00
