Example of how I add a new volume to RMM and then initialize it.
//REMOVEV EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
RMM AV MP0121 STATUS(SCRATCH) COUNT(1) DENSITY(*) INITIALIZE(Y) -
LABEL(SL) LOCATION(LUMINEX) MEDIANAME(3590) MEDIATYPE(HPCT) -
USE(MVS) RECORDINGFORMAT(128TRACK) STORGRP(TPSG)
/*
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=EDGINERS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//TAPE DD UNIT=(3590-1,,DEFER)
//SYSIN DD *
INIT VOLUME(MP0121)
