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 the following command: # pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c32t0d1 2. To create the volume group directory for a virtual disk, enter the command: # mkdir /dev/vg01 3. To create the volume group node for a virtual disk, enter the command: # 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 the command: # vgcreate -f /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c32t0d1 5. To create the logical volume for a virtual disk, enter the command: # 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 command mkfs on the new logical volume. The new file system is ready to mount. IBM AIX Accessing IBM AIX utilities You can access IBM AIX utilities such as the Object Data Manager (ODM), on the following website: http://www.hp.com/support/downloads In the Search products box, enter MPIO, and then click AIX MPIO PCMA for HP Arrays. Select IBM AIX, and then select your software storage product. IBM AIX 81
