Description of Command Function
Adds storage which has been discovered using the hardware discover storage command
(see “hardware discover storage” (page 66)). Before this command can be executed, newly
discovered storage must exist as presented using the system show status command (see
“system show status” (page 201)). At least one storage set must exist with a status of discovered
(XXTB), where XX cannot be equal to zero. The discovery process must be complete; no storage
set can have the status of “discovering.” After the storage addition process is successfully started,
the system show status command is used to determine the status and completion of the
process.
