Example Adding a Similar Pool Process Using the OBEYFORM Attribute
To configure one or more pool processes, you can 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 different
configuration file on the current system.
1. Capture the configuration for an existing pool process:
-> INFO / OUT LOG / $POOL1, OBEYFORM
== STORAGE - Detailed Info POOL in obeyform: \COMM.$POOL1
ADD POOL $POOL1 , &
SENDTO STORAGE , &
AUDITED ALLOWED, &

HIGHPIN OFF, &
MAGNETIC REQUIRED, &
MIRRORED REQUIRED, &
MODE QUIET, &
PRIMARYCPU 4 , &
PROGRAM $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.OPP, &
STARTSTATE STARTED, &
UPDATESTATS 1
2. Optionally edit the resulting log file to specify:
• A unique process name
• Remove the subvolume name from CATALOGLOCATION
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.
Adding a Disk to a Storage Pool
The “ALTER DISK Command” (page 228) adds a disk to an SMF storage pool.
Considerations for Adding a Disk to a Storage Pool
• All the disks in a storage pool must be on the same system.
• Up to 144 disk volumes can be placed in a pool.
• A disk volume can be in only one storage pool at a given time.
• When you add a disk to a storage pool:
The disk must be in the STARTED state.◦
◦ The POOL object must be the STARTED state.
◦ The disk cannot be a member of another storage pool.
Example
-> ALTER $DATA, POOL $POOL1
Removing a Disk From a Storage Pool
The “ALTER DISK Command” (page 228) removes a disk to an SMF storage pool.
