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.
