NEWMIRRVOL 

The NEWMIRRVOL command adds a new member volume to an existing mirrored
volume set.

The volume that will be initialized as the new volume member must be
mounted in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.

Task 

Adds volumes to a mirrored volume set.

Syntax 

     NEWMIRRVOL [VNAME=]sname:vname 
                [LDEVS=](ldev,ldev)
                [ [PERM=]percent_perm ][ [TRANS=]percent_trans]
                [ [CLASSES=](cname[ [,cname]...])]

Parameters 

sname                 The name assigned to the mirrored volume set.
                      Required.

vname                 The name that you assign to the new volume.  It is
                      used to reference and identify the volume.  It must
                      be a unique name at the time of initialization.  No
                      other volume with the same name can be mounted on
                      the system.  Required.

ldev,ldev             Two numbers from 1 to 999 that specify the logical
                      devices that are to become the mirrored master
                      volumes of the volume set.  They must identify two
                      different devices configured into the device class
                      DISC. The volumes must be mounted in the SCRATCH or
                      UNKNOWN state.  Required.

percent_perm          A number between 0 and 100 that specifies the
                      maximum percentage of disk space that can be
                      allocated to permanent data (files, databases).
                      Default is 100.  Optional.

percent_trans         A number between 0 and 100 that specifies the
                      maximum percentage of disk space that can be
                      allocated to transient data (process stacks,
                      virtual objects).  Default is 100.  Optional.

cname                 The names of volume classes to be initially created
                      in the volume set.  The MASTER volume (volume being
                      initialized) will be assigned to these classes.  If
                      this parameter is omitted the volume class DISC is
                      created, and the MASTER volume is assigned.
                      Optional.

Example 

This example shows how to use the VOLUTIL NEWMIRRVOL command.  If you do
not specify a volume class, the default volume class DISC is added to the
volume.


NOTE The ":" needs to be specified in this command.
