Volume Management Utility (VOLUTIL)
The Volume Utility subsystem provides the commands for manipulating
volume sets. You use these commands to manage and maintain individual
volumes, volume sets, and volume classes and to make inquiries about
their contents, availability, and status.
VOLUTIL Commands
VOLUTIL commands are organized into four groups based on the object they
manipulate. All commands that operate on sets end with "SET". Those
dealing with classes end with "CLASS". The commands that control volumes
end with "VOL". The last group consists of miscellaneous commands. The
VOLUTIL commands are listed below. The VOLUTIL prompt, volutil:,
precedes each command as shown in the following example:
volutil: ALTERVOL
