volser: Specifying the volume to be added or changed

Explanation: volser is a required positional parameter specifying the serial number of (1) a non-SMS-managed volume to be added to DFSMShsm control, (2) a volume currently managed or owned by DFSMShsm, and (3) a volume previously defined for aggregate recovery.

For volser, substitute the serial number of the volume being added or changed.

Defaults: None.
Note:
  1. Because volser is a required positional parameter, you must specify it immediately after the command name.
  2. When an attempt is made to add an SMS-managed volume using the ADDVOL command, the command is rejected and a message is issued.
  3. A volume previously defined to aggregate recovery with the L0VOLS parameter of the DEFINE ARPOOL command can be subsequently added to DFSMShsm only as a PRIMARY volume.
  4. A volume previously defined to aggregate recovery with the ML1VOLS parameter of the DEFINE ARPOOL command can be subsequently added to DFSMShsm only as an ML1 volume.
  5. If a specific scratch volume managed by RMM is added to DFSMShsm, RMM rejects it with message EDG4036I when DFSMShsm attempts to use it.
