Hi,

I have a situation and I need an advice here and all suggestions and comments 
are welcomed. The ADSM server is an AIX server release 4.2.1. ADSM its self is 
3.1.2.57. The backuppool and ADSM database volumes are reaching the limit. I 
have received six SSA disks (each 4.5 GB). The database volumes are mirrored 
and I want to add two SSA disks to the current database volumes; and 4 SSA 
disks to backuppool. The following command output shows the current database 
volumes setup: 

Volume Name          Copy       Volume Name            Copy           Volume 
Name          Copy
(Copy 1)                    Status     (Copy 2)                      Status     
    (Copy 3)                    Status
----------------            ------          ----------------

You will notice that each database volume is mirrored. My question is what is 
the best way to add volumes to backuppool and database volumes. Shall I add the 
SSA disk and mirror it to current ADSM database volume as a third volume. In 
addition, I would like to know what is the best way to add the four SSA disks 
to backuppool. I have already defined the 4 SSA disk to backuppool in AIX, but 
ADSM did not see it yet. 


Your help in this matter is highly appreciated.
