Converting UDFS disk pools
If you have existing user-defined file system (UDFS) disk pools on your system, you can convert them to primary and secondary disk pools. This allows them to support library-based objects
Support for library-based objects through the use of primary and secondary disk pools was introduced at V5R2.
You must convert UDFS disk pools if you want them to participate in disk pool groups. After you convert a UDFS disk pool to a primary or secondary disk pool, you cannot convert it back to a UDFS disk pool. You must create a primary disk pool before you can associate secondary disk pools.
