This builds the virtual group block data, allowing HP-UX to access the virtual disk. See the pvcreate, vgcreate, and lvcreate man pages for more information about creating disks and file systems. Use the following procedure to create a volume group on a virtual disk: NOTE: Italicized text is for example only. 1. To create the physical volume on a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following: # pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c32t0d1 2. To create the volume group directory for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following: # mkdir /dev/vg01 3. To create the volume group node for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following: # mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64 0x010000 The designation 64 is the major number that equates to the 64-bit mode. The 0x01 is the minor number in hex, which must be unique for each volume group. 4. To create the volume group for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following: # vgcreate -f /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c32t0d1 5. To create the logical volume for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following: # lvcreate -L1000 /dev/vg01/lvol1 In this example, a 1-Gb logical volume (lvol1) is created. 6. Create a file system for the new logical volume by creating a file system directory name and inserting a mount tap entry into /etc/fstab. 7. Run the mkfs command on the new logical volume. The new file system is ready to mount.

Creating volume groups on a virtual disk using vgcreate
You can create a volume group on a virtual disk by issuing a
vgcreate
command. This builds
the virtual group block data, allowing HP-UX to access the virtual disk. See the
pvcreate
,
vgcreate,
and
lvcreate
man pages for more information about creating disks and file systems.
Use the following procedure to create a volume group on a virtual disk:
NOTE:
Italicized text is for example only.
1.
To create the physical volume on a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following:
# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/
c32t0d1
2.
To create the volume group directory for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following:
# mkdir /dev/
vg01
3.
To create the volume group node for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following:
# mknod /dev/vg01/group c
64 0x010000
The designation
64
is the major number that equates to the 64-bit mode. The
0x01
is the
minor number in hex, which must be unique for each volume group.
4.
To create the volume group for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following:
# vgcreate
–
f /dev/
vg01
/dev/dsk/
c32t0d1
5.
To create the logical volume for a virtual disk, enter a command similar to the following:
# lvcreate -L1000 /dev/
vg01/lvol1
In this example, a 1-Gb logical volume
(lvol1)
is created.
6.
Create a file system for the new logical volume by creating a file system directory name and
inserting a mount tap entry into
/etc/fstab.
7.
Run the
mkfs
command on the new logical volume. The new file system is ready to mount.
