Here are the processes I used to create and test ASP2, using existing DASD, no IPL needed.
This was a sandbox LPAR, 8205, .3 CPU, 8gb mem, CEC controller, 8 571gb 10k spinney in CEC.
1) STRASPBAL TYPE(*ENDALC) UNIT(6 7 8)
2) STRASPBAL TYPE(*MOVDTA) TIMLMT(*NOMAX) PRIORITY(*MEDIUM) - This took a while 10-20 hours.
3) STRSST, 3. Work with disk units , 2. Work with disk configuration , 12. Work with removing units from configuration ; 3. Remove units from configuration ; 4=Remove unit from configuration 6,7,8
4) Using Ops Navigator New Disk Pool Wizard , Configuration and Service, Hardware, Disk Units, (prompts you to login via SST) ; Disk Pools ; New Disk Pool, Created ASP2, (Unchecked Protect data in this pool because disk already protected via Raid5) Add New Disk, (added 6,7,8 to ASP 2. This also took a while 10-20 hours)
5) Tested a RSTLIB, forcing the RSTASP to ASP 2, worked with no issue.
6) Tested a RSTLIBBRM command, failed with BRM2112

Message . . . . : ASP 00002 not valid.
Cause . . . . . : BRMS does not recognize 00002 as a valid ASP name or
number. Either the ASP description is not defined or an auxiliary storage
pool device is being specified when only system (1) or basic user (2-32)
ASPs are valid. Recovery . . . : Use the Work with ASP Descriptions using
BRM (WRKASPBRM) command to determine whether the ASP description exists and
verify the parameter supports use of auxiliary storage pool devices.
7) WRKASPBRM revealed two ASPS. By default, *NONE is auto created as the name for ASP 2. BRMS did not like this.
ASP ASP ASP ASP Hierarchy Migration
Name Number Type Class Priority Eligible
*SYSTEM 00001 *SYSBAS *NONE *YES
*NONE 00002 *SYSBAS *NONE *YES
8) 2=Change the ASP name from *NONE to SLICES (this can be anything, not actually referenced on the RSTLIBBRM command) Currently checking with BRMS group for the restore rules on ASP Name)
*SYSTEM 00001 *SYSBAS *NONE *YES
SLICES 00002 *SYSBAS *NONE *YES
9) Reran RSTLIBBRM command, successful restore of the entire library to ASP2.
10) Need to finish restoring 30 remaining app libraries to ASP2.
11) Then let the testing begin.

I need to create ASP2 for testing SSD/HDD mixture.
What would be the easiest way to do this using current existing disks.
Can a client LPAR have 2 ASPS.
Thank You
