Storage Pool Attribute Set

Following a discussion of the attribute sets for storage pools and virtual disks, the PUP
commands used to manage SMF processes are described in detail. Refer to the
Peripheral Utility Program (PUP) Reference Manual for complete information about
using the PUP utility.

Storage Pool Attribute Set

The storage pool attribute set is a collection of attributes that describe a storage pool.
You specify these attributes as parameters in the DEFINEPOOL and REDEFINEPOOL
commands.

CATALOGLOC

specifies a physical location for the storage pool’s catalog files. If you do not
specify a volume, $SYSTEM is used. If you do not specify a subvolume, ZSMSP

nn

is used, where

nn

is a pair of numeric characters. These system-generated

subvolumes are limited to one hundred per volume. If no subvolume is available
because the limit has been reached, the system will emit an error. If you do specify
a subvolume, it must not contain catalog files of another pool or the system will
emit an error.

The catalog volume must be audited by TMF.

AUDIT

specifies whether volumes protected by TMF are allowed in the storage pool. The
following are valid values:

The default value is ALLOWED.

Note. If the pool is not in the UP state when the virtual disk process is started, file creates are
disallowed.

{ CATALOGLOC [[$volume.]subvolume] |
AUDIT {D[ISALLOWED] | A[LLOWED] | R[EQUIRED]} |
MIRROR {D[ISALLOWED] | A[LLOWED] | R[EQUIRED]} |
DISKTHRESHOLD {OFF | 0..100} |
DISKINTERVAL {OFF | 1..99} |
EXTENTTHRESHOLD {OFF | >=0} |
EXTENTINTERVAL {OFF | >=0} |
UPDATESTATS {OFF | 0..1440} |
STARTDOWN {TRUE | FALSE}
}

D[ISALLOWED]

A physical volume audited by TMF cannot be associated with
the storage pool.

A[LLOWED]

A physical volume audited by TMF can be associated with the
storage pool.

R[EQUIRED]

A physical volume must be audited by TMF before it can be
associated with the storage pool.
