Adding volumes to iSeries using iSeries Navigator

The iSeries Navigator GUI can be used to add volumes to the System, User or Independent
ASPs. In this example, we are adding a multipath logical volume to a private (non-switchable)
IASP. The same principles apply when adding multipath volumes to the System or User
ASPs.
Follow the steps outlined in "Adding volumes to an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool" on
page 334.
