IBM DS8000 manual Adding volumes to iSeries using iSeries Navigator

Adding volumes to iSeries using iSeries Navigator

The iSeries Navigator GUI can be used to add volumes to the System, User or Independent ASPs. In this example, we are adding a multipath logical volume to a private (non-switchable) IASP. The same principles apply when adding multipath volumes to the System or User ASPs.

Follow the steps outlined in “Adding volumes to an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool” on page 378.

When you get to the point where you will select the volumes to be added, you will see a panel similar to that shown in Figure B-27.Multipath volumes appear as DMPxxx. Highlight the disks you want to add to the disk pool and click Add.

Figure B-27 Adding a multipath volume

Note: For multipath volumes, only one path is shown. In order to see the additional paths, see “Managing multipath volumes using iSeries Navigator” on page 392.

The remaining steps are identical to those in “Adding volumes to an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool” on page 378.

When you have completed these steps, the new Disk Pool can be seen on iSeries Navigator Disk Pools in Figure B-28 on page 391.
