Single volume group list example

In the following example, a single volume group (GROUP01) list contains volumes VOL001 - VOL004, and volumes that begin with the letter "D".

* VGRP DEFINITIONS
 GROUP_NAME=GROUP01
 VOLUMES=(VOL001,VOL002,VOL003,VOL004, 
          D*)

Note: When you list multiple values for an operand such as a volume list, you must enclose the list in parentheses. If the list exceeds the limit of a single record, continue the list on subsequent records by ending the list on a record with a comma and then continuing the list on the next record.

The following example shows a copy of the VGRPDEFS member that was modified to define the volume group JJHGRP01:

* VGRP DEFINITIONS

GROUP_NAME=JJHGRP01                             * NAME OF THE VOLUME GROUP   
                                                                        
      VOLUMES=(VOL000,VOL001,VOL002,VOL003,     * <--- CHANGE TO APPROPRIATE 
      VOL004,VOL005)                            *      VOLUME SERIAL NUMBERS

The GROUP_NAME keyword defines the name of the volume group. The VOLUMES keyword defines the list of the volumes in the group.
