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.


   volutil: NEWMIRRVOL PROD_SET:MEMBER2 (32,33)



   *Verify: Initialize new member volume on ldev 32 and ldev 33 [Y/N]? Y



   *Note: New member volume has been initialized for ldev 32 and ldev 33.
NOTE: After executing the NEWMIRRVOL command, you should execute a :VSCLOSE volsetname and a :VSOPEN volsetname to ensure that the volume set information has been posted to the disk.
