VSEn/Add DASD

To add DASD, you need to have it available on your FC SAN and have available FCP devices. For this, refer to your SAN documentation.
Then, in the define device screen, add a device, specify FBA SCSI and use the menus to provide the LUN and target WWN. Once this is done, reIPL.
Afterwards, you need to plot down a VTOC and init the DASD using ICKDSF. The following JCL template helps:
// JOB NEWDASD
// ASSGN SYS005,202
// ASSGN SYS006,203
// EXEC ICKDSF,SIZE=AUTO
INIT SYSNAME(SYS005) FBAVTOC(306176,228,8192) VOLID(CBR000) NOVFY
INIT SYSNAME(SYS006) FBAVTOC(306176,228,8192) VOLID(CBR001) NOVFY
/*
/&
Make sure to ONLINE the DASD first on the console.
Output should be similar to:
// JOB NEWDASD DATE 03/17/2
// ASSGN SYS005,202
// ASSGN SYS006,203
// EXEC ICKDSF,SIZE=AUTO

Once you have a VTOC plotted down, you need to define a space to the VSAM catalogs you want to use the DASD for. To do this, go to FILE AND CATALOG MANAGEMENT and pick option 5 Display or Process a Catalog, Space
