DS6000 Series: Concepts and Architecture
Adding volumes to iSeries configuration
Once the logical volumes have been created and assigned to the host, they will appear as
non-configured units
to OS/400. This may be some time after being created on the DS6000.
At this stage, they are used in exactly the same way as non-configured internal units. There is
nothing particular to external logical volumes as far as OS/400 is concerned. You should use
the same functions for adding the logical units to an Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP) as you
would for internal disks.
Using 5250 interface
Adding disk units to the configuration can be done either using the green screen interface
with Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST), or with the iSeries
Navigator GUI. The following example shows how to add a logical volume in the DS6000 to
the System ASP, using green screen SST.
1. Start System Service Tools
STRSST
and sign on.
