Hi all.

Adding the new drive as a new volume set for a week went fine.
Put stuff on it, took stuff off it, etc no problem.

I came in today to do the "simple" part of adding it to
the system volume set.  Nothing is as simple as it seems.

I purged all the accounts that were on it, and purged them
from the system directory, did the VSCLOSE, the SCRATCHVOL.

The NEWVOL command seemed to work until it got to where it
tried to mount the new volume, then it choked with an
error about an UNKNOWN Volume and :
*Error: Subsys     163, Info:     -10.

This drive's id doesn't match it's configuration, but it was
running fine that way all week as private volume, maybe it's
fussier about what gets added to the system volume set?

Tried a FORMATVOL work okay still could mount it, although
the DISMOUNT request was granted, go figure.

INITVOL afterward yields the same error messages I got when
I did the NEWVOL command.

An EXPANDCLASS to add the new volume seems to have worked the
new drive is now listed along with the others, but it didn't
help with the mounting problem.

The drive is now in the UNKNOWN state

Here is some info from VOLUTIL:
