Adding DASD to the CA VM:Director Configuration

If you acquire more DASD or you want CA VM:Director to manage other volumes, you must identify these DASD volumes to CA VM:Director. To identify a DASD volume, add one VOLUME record and EXTENT records to the DASD CONFIG file.

To add DASD volumes to the DASD CONFIG file

1. Edit the DASD CONFIG file by entering:

   vmdirect config dasd
   

2. Find the VOLUME and EXTENT records in the file and add the records for your new DASD.

   Note: For more information about the format of the VOLUME Record and EXTENT Record, see the chapter "Configuration File Reference" in the Reference Guide.
