in the same disk array or in other disk arrays. To allow more volume groups to be created, use SAM to modify the HP-UX system kernel configuration. See "Reference information for the HP System Administrator Manager SAM" on page 45 for details. To create volume groups: 1. Use the vgdisplay command to - HP StorageWorks P9000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Guide: HP-UX (AV400- - Page 21
vgremove command (for example, vgremove /dev/vgnn). If the vgremove command does not work because the volume group is not active, use the vgexport command (for example, vgexport /dev/vgnn). 8. Use the vgdisplay command to verify that the new directory was created. P9000 Configuration Guide: HP-UX - HP StorageWorks P9000 | HP StorageWorks P9000 Configuration Guide: HP-UX (AV400- - Page 22
