Volume Management

NEWSET 

The NEWSET command creates a new volume set by initializing the master of
the volume set.  Nonsystem volumes have only permanent space and should
be set to 100 for percentperm.

The volume master must be mounted in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state in
order for the NEWSET command to initialize a new volume set.

Task 

Creates a new volume set.

Capability 

CV, create mountable volume set

Syntax 

     NEWSET [SNAME=]sname 
            [MASTER=]master 
            [LDEV=]ldev 
            [[PERM=]percentperm] [[TRANS=]percenttrans]
            [[GEN=]gen_number]
            [[CLASSES=](cname[[,,cname]...])]

Parameters 

sname                 The name assigned to the new volume set.  It is
                      used to reference and identify the set, so it must
                      be unique to the system.  Required.

master                The name assigned to the master volume of the set.
                      The name assigned to the master volume need not be
                      the same as the name of the volume set.  Required.

ldev                  A number from 1 to 100 specifying the logical
                      device on which the master volume being created is
                      mounted.  It must specify a drive with a volume in
                      the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state.  Required.

percentperm           A number between 0 and 100 specifying the maximum
                      percentage of disk space that can be allocated as
                      permanent.  Optional.

percenttrans          For system volumes only, a number between 0 and 100
                      specifying the maximum percentage of disk space
                      that can be allocated as transient.  Optional.

gen_number            A number from 0 to 32767 specifying the generation
                      of the new volume.  The default is 0.  Optional.

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

Example 

This example shows how to create a new volume set from a volume in either
the UNKNOWN or SCRATCH state.

   1.  Use the DSTAT command to check the states of the volumes in the
       volume set.

   2.  Use the NEWSET command to create a new volume set, BSET.

   3.  Use the DSTAT command to verify that the new set was created.
