Volume Management

Creating Volume Classes 

Volume classes are used to restrict data.  To create a volume class on a
system or nonsystem volume set, use the NEWCLASS command.


NOTE  The default class DISC is assigned to nonsystem volumes unless
      another volume class is specified when using the NEWSET or NEWVOL
      commands.  Also, the master volume does not need to be a member of
      every volume class in the volume set.


Example:  Creating a Volume Class 

This example shows how to create a new volume class.

   1.  To create a new class, ENGR, on the PROD_SET nonsystem volume set,
       use the following command at the VOLUTIL prompt:

       The volume class name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters in
       length.  The first character must be alphabetic.

   2.  Verify that the class has been created by using the SHOWCLASS
       command.

|      volutil: SHOWCLASS PROD_SET:ENGR |
|                                       |
|      Volume class index: 2            |
|      Number of volumes in class: 1    |
|                                       |

Once a class is specified, the system recognizes the class and the class
is ready for use.


NOTE  A class cannot be deleted from the volume set.  Likewise, a volume
      cannot be deleted from a class.
