Thanks John, I think we did it
Since I tend to forget how I solved my own problems, here are my overly verbose steps (put together with information from the Configuration guide and Johns help here on the forums)
Step 1. Stop RDzUT -
- from the zOS console run s shutdb
- press and refresh with PF11 to watch the jobs get shutdown
Step 2. Create a new volume on linux using the command
- in linux command shell run "alcckd /home/ibmsys1/z1090/disks/DATA00 –d3390-9"
- in linux modify the file aprof11s by adding the entry at the bottom for
"device 0ab3 3390 3990 /home/ibmsys1/z1090/disks/DATA00"
- validate with the linux command
"awsckmap /home/ibmsys1/z/aprof11s"
Step 3. Start RDzUT
- from the linux shell execute ./runzpdt (There should be a message about ab3 being offline in the console)
Step 4. Bring the disk online
- in the zOS console enter "V AB3,OFFLINE
- Logon onto RDzUT and create a JCL or modify the one most likely in the PDS IBMUSER.CNTL to do
//IBMUSERA JOB (ACCT),MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID.
//*-----------------------------------------------------
//*-----------------------------------------------------
//* MOD-3: VTOC(0,1,974) INDEX(65,0,50)
//* MOD-9: VTOC(0,1,2939) INDEX(196,0,150)
//FORMAT EXEC PGM=ICKDSF
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
INIT UNIT(AB3) NOVALIDATE NVFY VOLID(DATA00) PURGE -
VTOC(0,1,2939) INDEX(196,0,150)
/*
- In the zOS console enter the response R xx,U where xx is the id of the zOS notification probably 01
- Validate the job returned with a 0 code
- In the zOS console enter the command V AB3,ONLINE
- Catalog the volume by logging on and create a JCL or modify the one most likely in the PDS IBMUSER.CNTL to do
//IBMUSERB JOB (ACCT),MSGCLASS=H,NOTIFY=&SYSUID.
//*----------------------------------------------------
//DEFCAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=0M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE USERCATALOG (NAME(USERCAT.VDATA00) ICFCATALOG -
CYLINDERS(10 5) VOLUME(DATA00) )
/*
Step 5. Expand the storage group
- Connect to the database with a tool like db2 connect.
- Using the configuration assistant create a connection to the zOS database.
- default port is 5025
- default location is Dallas9
- open a db2 command prompt and connect to DALLAS9
- run the statement
"ALTER STOGROUP SYSDEFLT ADD VOLUMES (DATA00);"
Results - A new volume is online named DATA00 and made it available for the default db2 storage group to use as space to expand table data into.
