Configuring System Disks Using VOLUTIL 

If you have additional disks on your system, use the VOLUTIL utility to
define and initialize them.

   1.  Check the status of the disks.

                 :DSTAT ALL 

   2.  If your disks are not in a Master or Member status, use the
       following VOLUTIL commands to change the status.

          :VOLUTIL 

          VOLUTIL:SCRATCHVOL n 
          *Verify: Scratch volume on ldev n [Y/N]? Y 

          VOLUTIL:NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBERn n 100 100 DISC 
          *Verify: Initialize new member volume . . .Membern on ldev n? Y

          VOLUTIL:EXIT 
            

       The n in the above commands refers to the address of the disk you
       are adding to your system.  Repeat these commands to add
       additional disks to your system.  Replace n with the address of
       the additional disk(s).

   3.  When you have configured all disks onto your system, enter the
       DSTAT ALL command again to ensure the disks are mounted.

                 :DSTAT ALL
