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)
    • Checking Volumes completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
