The NEWCLASS command adds a volume class to a volume set and optionally adds volumes to that class. You can create a class without assigning any volumes to it. However, if you wish to assign volumes, those volumes must be already defined. Refer to the NEWVOL command. You can assign additional volumes to the class with the EXPANDCLASS command.
