Configuring an AutoRestart/iX Nonsystem Volume Set
[REV BEG]
To install and configure a nonsystem volume set, for use by
AutoRestart/iX, on your system, you must perform the following steps:[REV
END]
1. Create the master nonsystem volume set.
2. If required, add one or more additional member volumes to the
master nonsystem volume set.
3. 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:
1. Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS and invoke VOLUTIL. At the
system prompt, enter:
:HELLO MANAGER[/userpass].SYS[/acctpass]
:VOLUTIL
2. 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:
volutil: :DSTAT
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.
_________________________________________________________________
3. 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#
4. 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.
5. Enter the DSTAT command to verify that the volume set was created.
At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: :DSTAT
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:
1. Enter the DSTAT command to determine which volumes can be
initialized. At the VOLUTIL prompt, enter:
volutil: :DSTAT
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.
_________________________________________________________________
2. 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
3. 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.
4. 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:
volutil: :DSTAT
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:
1. Use the VSCLOSE command at the console to close the master
nonsystem volume set. At the system prompt, enter:
:VSCLOSE DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET
2. Use the VSOPEN command at the console to reopen the master
nonsystem volume set. At the system prompt, enter:
:VSOPEN DISKDUMP_VOLUME_SET
