SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

• You can add a partition to a partitioned disk while other existing partitions on the disk are
active (online). Adding the partition does not affect the data on other existing partitions.
• After adding disk partitions, each disk partition can be configured to a NonStop DISK LDEV
using the ADD DISK command. The NonStop DISK LDEV configured to a disk partition must
be initialized before it can be started.
• For a partitioned disk, encryption is enabled on the disk partition level instead of the whole
physical disk. When a disk is replaced, encryption must be specified again during NonStop
DISK LDEV initialization, which requires a security officer, as described under “Managing
Encrypted Disk Drives” (page 116).
ADD PARTITION Examples
• This example uses the PARTITIONCOUNT attribute. This example adds four partitions of size
20 GB each.
ADD PARTITION $ZZSTO, &
SENDTO STORAGE, &
PRIMARYCLIM S1002533, &
PRIMARYLUN 100, &
STARTPARTITION 1, &
PARTITIONSIZE 20, &
PARTITIONCOUNT 4, &
BACKUPCLIM S1002534
• This example's PARTITIONSIZE attribute takes a list of partition sizes that are also used by the
INFO PARTITION, OBEYFORM command to reconstruct the partitions on a disk. This example
adds four partitions of size 20 GB, 10 GB, 30 GB and 40 GB.
ADD PARTITION $ZZSTO, &
SENDTO STORAGE, &
PRIMARYCLIM S1002533, &
PRIMARYLUN 101, &
STARTPARTITION 1, &
PARTITIONSIZE (20, 10, 30, 40), &
BACKUPCLIM S1002534
• This example uses the LIKE attribute.
ADD PARTITION $ZZSTO, &
SENDTO STORAGE, &
PRIMARYCLIM S1002533, &
PRIMARYLUN 100, &
BACKUPCLIM S1002531, &
LIKE ( S1002534, 200 )
ADD POOL Command
The ADD POOL command adds a storage pool to the system configuration database. The syntax
is:
ADD [ /OUT file-spec/ ] POOL $pool , SENDTO STORAGE
[ , LIKE object ] [ , attribute-spec ]...
Wild-card characters are not supported.
OUT file-spec
directs all SCF output to the specified file.
POOL $pool
is the storage pool process.
