Choose a unique name for each mount directory that identifies the logical volume. To create a mount directory for each logical volume: XP Disk Array Configuration Guide for HP-UX - HP StorageWorks XP10000 | HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Configuration Guide: HP- - Page 28
Example # mount /dev/vg06/lvol1 /AHPMD-LU00 2. Repeat step 1 for each logical volume on the disk array. If you need to unmount a file system, use the unmount command. 3.
