Adding volumes to an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool

Independent Auxiliary Storage Pools (IASPs) can be switchable or private. Disks are added to an IASP using the iSeries navigator GUI. In this example, we are adding a logical volume to a private (non-switchable) IASP.

1. Start iSeries Navigator. Figure B-6 on page 378 shows the initial panel.
