<h1 class="topictitle1">Make a disk pool available</h1>
<div><p>To access the disk units in an independent disk pool, you must
make the disk pool available (vary it on).</p>
<p>To access the disk units in an independent disk pool and the
objects in the corresponding database, you must make the disk pool available
(vary it on). If you are using geographic mirroring, you must make the production
copy of the disk pool available. You can only make the mirror copy available
if it is detached. For a geographically mirrored disk pool, you must also
make sure that the switchable hardware group is <a href="rzalystartcrg.htm">started</a> before attempting to make the disk pool available
unless geographic mirroring is suspended.</p>
<p>In a multisystem clustered environment, you can make the disk pool available
to the current node or to another node in the cluster. The independent disk
pool can only be varied on for one node at a time. When you want to access
the independent disk pool from a different node, you must switch the independent
disk pool to the backup cluster node. See <a href="../rzaig/rzaigmanageperformswitchover.htm">Perform a switchover</a> for details on switching a device
CRG (referred to as a switchable hardware group in iSeries™ Navigator) to the backup node.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you make a primary or secondary disk pool available, all of the disk
pools in the disk pool group are also made available at the same time.</div>
<p>When you make a disk pool available or perform
disk configuration changes on an independent disk pool, processing can seem
to stop. If you are doing other device description activity, then make available
and disk configuration changes will wait. </p>
<p>Failures early in make available processing
of a geographically mirrored disk pool might cause a full synchronization
on the next make available or resume.</p>
<div class="p">To make an independent disk pool available: <ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
expand <span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span> (or your active environment). </li>
<li>Expand the primary node iSeries server. </li>
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Configuration and Service</span>.</li>
<li> Expand <span class="uicontrol">Hardware</span>. </li>
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Disk Units</span>. </li>
<li>Sign on to service tools if the Service Tools Signon dialog box displays.</li>
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Disk Pools</span>.</li>
<li> Right-click the unavailable disk pool and select <span class="uicontrol">Make Available</span>.
You can select multiple disk pools to make available at the same time. </li>
<li>From the dialog box displayed, click <span class="uicontrol">Make Available</span> to
make the disk pool available.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>You can use the <a href="../cl/vrycfg.htm">Vary Configuration
(VRYCFG)</a> command in the character-based interface to make the disk
pool available.</p>
