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
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.
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.
