Example

This example shows how to add volumes to an existing volume class.

  1. Use the SHOWCLASS command to get information about the volumes in the volume class, ENGR.

  2. Add BVOL2 and BVOL3 to the class.

       volutil:SHOWCLASS BSET:ENGR INFO=DSTATUS
    
    
    
       Volume name:  State:     ldev:     Type:      Path:
    
       - - - - - -   - - -      - - -     - - -      - - -
    
       BVOL1         MASTER     21        079330     8.0.4
    
    
    
       volutil: EXPANDCLASS BSET:ENGR VOLUMES=(BVOL2,BVOL3)
    
    
    
       Verify: Expand volume class BSET:ENGR [Y/N]? Y
    
  3. Verify the volumes that have been added. BVOL3 is not physically mounted, so it is shown as a member of the class that is not available.

   volutil: SHOWCLASS BSET:ENGR DSTATUS



   Volume name:   State:    ldev:     Type:     Path:

   - - - - - -    - - -     - - -     - - -     - - -

   BVOL1          MASTER    21        079330    8.0.4

   BVOL2          MEMBER    22        079330    8.0.5

   BVOL3        (VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE)
