7.  Adding System Volumes 

To add an additional system volume, use the VOLUTIL utility.

   1.  At the logon prompt, enter:

            VOLUTIL 

   2.  At the volutil:  prompt, enter:

            volutil::DSTAT ALL 

       To communicate with the command interpreter instead of the
       subsystem, you must enter a colon (:)  before the command.

   3.  The status of some volumes may be listed as LONER. If so, change
       their status to SCRATCH. Enter:

            volutil:SCRATCHVOL nn 

       where nn is the logical device number.

   4.  You add the names of volumes in the format
       volumesetname:volumename. 

       When you enter the set name, do not include the "gen" number that
       follows the volume set name.  Do include the LDEV number or the
       volume will not be initialized.  To add a volume to a system
       volume set enter:

            volutil:NEWVOL VNAME=volumesetname:volumename LDEV=ldev 

   5.  Continue adding other system volumes.

   6.  Exit VOLUTIL by entering:

            volutil:EXIT
