Frank, The procedure to define disk based volumes has not changed, so you're right ! You could eventually get a rid of the "dsmfmt blah ....." step while using : "define volume <stgpool_name> <path> formatsize=xxx" xxx being the size in MB you want for your volume. Hope this helped ... Cheers.

Please :-) Best regards, Frank ----- Weitergeleitet von Frank Mueller/AG/OERAG am 26.10.2004 15:41 ----- Frank Mueller An: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 26.10.2004 13:18 Kopie: Thema: extend primary diskstorage pool on SSA-disks in TSM 5.1.8 Hi, I want to extend my primary diskstorage pool on SSA-disks. Environment: AIX 5.2 TSM 5.1.8 primary storage on SSA-disks secondary storage on tape (3494 library) copy storage pool on tape (3583 library) Now I must extend the primary disk storage pool. In older TSM versions (TSM Version 4) I start the following procedure to this - create log. volumes (AIX-LVM) - create jfs (AIX-LVM) - dsmfmt -data <path> <size> (AIX-Command-Line) - then in TSM: DEFINE VOLUME <storage pool name> <path> Is this in TSM-Version 5.1.8 the same procedure and the same syntax? Best regards, Frank
