To install and configure a nonsystem volume set, for use by AutoRestart/iX, on your system, you must perform the following steps: Create the master nonsystem volume set.
If required, add one or more additional member volumes to the master nonsystem volume set.
Post configuration information to the master nonsystem volume set.
For more information about configuring nonsystem volume sets, refer to the Volume Management Reference Manual (32650-90045). Create a master volume set | |
To create a master nonsystem volume set, you must initialize it using the VOLUTIL NEWSET command. When the DISKDUMP master nonsystem volume set is created, it is recognized by the system and is ready for use. To create a nonsystem volume set, perform the following steps: Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS and invoke VOLUTIL. At the system prompt, enter:
:HELLO MANAGER[/userpass].SYS[/acctpass]
:VOLUTIL
|
Enter the DSTAT command to determine which volumes can be initialized. Precede this command with a colon (DSTAT is a system command, not a VOLUTIL command). At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter: The DSTAT command displays information about nonsystem volume sets. The following example shows three nonsystem volumes sets, each in a different state (UNKNOWN, SCRATCH, and LONER).
LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
11-07937 UNKNOWN
12-07937 SCRATCH
13-07937 LONER
|
| | | |  | NOTE: You must mount the volume in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state before you can configure it as a master nonsystem volume set.
| | | | |
If the nonsystem volume set is in a LONER state and no longer contains any required data, use the SCRATCHVOL command to convert the nonsystem volume to a SCRATCH state. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: SCRATCHVOL ldev#
|
Use the VOLUTIL NEWSET command to create the DISKDUMP master nonsystem volume set. Specify the name of the volume set (for example, DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET), the name of the volume (for example, MEMBER1), and the volume's LDEV number (for example, LDEV11). At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: NEWSET DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET MEMBER1 LDEV11
|
The system asks you to verify that the information entered is correct. When you respond Y followed by Enter, the system displays process information. Enter the DSTAT command to verify that the volume set was created. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter: DSTAT displays the updated volume information. In the following example, the volume on LDEV 11 has been configured as the master volume, named MEMBER1 volume set DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET.
LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
11-07937 MASTER MEMBER1 (DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET-0)
12-07937 SCRATCH
13-07937 LONER
|
| | | | | NOTE: Ensure that you see the message verifying that the volume was initialized correctly. If an error occurs during initialization, the volume must be reinitialized. | | | | |
Adding member volumes to a master volume set | |
To add one or more member volumes to the master volume set, perform the following steps: Enter the DSTAT command to determine which volumes can be initialized. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter: The DSTAT command displays information about nonsystem volume sets. The following example shows two volumes, each in a different state (SCRATCH and LONER).
LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
11-07937 MASTER MEMBER1 (DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET-0)
12-07937 SCRATCH
13-07937 LONER
|
| | | | | NOTE: You must mount the volume in the SCRATCH or UNKNOWN state before you can configure it as a nonsystem volume set.
| | | | |
If the volume that you require is in a LONER state (for example, LDEV 13) and no longer contains any required data, use the SCRATCHVOL command to convert the volume from LONER state to SCRATCH state. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: SCRATCHVOL LDEV13
|
Use the NEWVOL command to add a member volume to a master nonsystem volume set. For example, to add the SCRATCH volume as a member volume to the master nonsystem volume set DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET, at the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: NEWVOL DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER2 LDEV13
|
The system asks you to verify that the information that you entered is correct. When you respond Y followed by Enter, the system displays process information. After you add a member volume to a volume set, use the DSTAT command to verify that the member volume was added. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter: The DSTAT command displays the updated volume information. In the following example, the volume on LDEV 13 has been configured as the member volume, named MEMBER2, of the nonsystem volume set.
LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
11-07937 MASTER MEMBER1 (DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET-0)
12-07937 SCRATCH
13-07937 MEMBER MEMBER2 (DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET-0)
|
| | | | | NOTE:
Make sure that you see the message verifying that the member volume was initialized correctly. If an error occurs during initialization, you must reinitialize the member volume.
| | | | |
Posting configuration information | |
To ensure that the new volume set configuration is posted to disk, you must invoke the commands VSCLOSE and VSOPEN against the master nonsystem volume set. To post volume set configuration data to disk, perform the following steps: Use the VSCLOSE command at the console to close the master nonsystem volume set. At the system prompt, enter:
:VSCLOSE DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET
|
Use the VSOPEN command at the console to reopen the master nonsystem volume set. At the system prompt, enter:
:VSOPEN DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET
|
