Volume Management

NEWCLASS 

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.

Task 

Creates a new volume class.

Capability 

CV, create mountable volume set

Syntax 

     NEWCLASS[CNAME=]sname:cname 
             [VOLUMES=][(vname[[,vname]...])]

Parameters 

sname                 The volume set to contain the new class.  The
                      master volume of this set must be mounted in the
                      MASTER state.  Required.

cname                 The new class.  The name must be unique within the
                      volume set.  Required.

vname                 The names of the volumes to be assigned to the new
                      class.  The volumes must have been previously
                      defined with the NEWVOL command.  Optional.

Example 

This example shows how to create a new volume class and assign a volume
to the class.

   1.  Create the new volume class, ENGR.

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