5.6 Checking Volumes
If necessary, use the VOLUTIL utility to add system volumes, that is, the system domain
(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET) disk drives (except LDEV1). For more information on VOLUTIL commands, refer
to the Volume Management Reference Manual.
To check volumes:
1. From the console, log on with the following conditions (if you are not already logged on).
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:SPOOLER LP;START
:STREAMS streams_device
A common streams_device value is 10. An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. Already spooled and
streamed messages might display.
2. Enter a DSTAT ALL command to verify a status of member for the disk drives.
:DSTAT ALL
Sample output:
LDEV-TYPESTATUSVOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
--------- -------------- -----------------------------
1- 022040MASTERMEMBER1(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
2- 022040LONERMEMBER2(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
3. All system volumes showing a status of LONER must be added using the VOLUTIL utility. Add system
volumes using SCRATCHVOL and NEWVOL commands. For example:
:VOLUTIL
volutil: SCRATCHVOL 2
Verify: Scratch volume on LDEV 2 [Y/N]? Y
volutil: NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER2 2 100 100
Initialize VOLUME mpexl_system_volume_set:MEMBER2 on LDEV 2 with PERMANENT SPACE = 100% and TRANSIENT
SPACE = 100%? Y
volutil: EXIT
4. Check all volumes to confirm they are configured correctly. Use the DSTAT command.
:DSTAT ALL
Sample output
LDEV-TYPESTATUSVOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
--------- -------------- -----------------------------
1- 022040MASTERMEMBER1(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
2- 022040MEMBERMEMBER2(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
