Setting up a new volume group

If you want to create a new volume group, make sure you have minumum one physical device available.

1) Login in to the system as “root” (or equivalent to “root” that allows you to do system admin tasks)

# /sbin/pvcreate /dev/rsk/cXtXdX (X is the controller, target and device number – “ioscan” will give you this information)

# /sbin/mkdir /dev/vgNAME (you can give whatever name you like)

# /sbin/mknod /dev/vgNAME/group c 64 0×0X0000 (make sure you have a ”UNIQUE” minor number for each volume group)

# /sbin/vgcreate /dev/vgNAME /dev/dsk/cXtXdX  (if you have more than one device to add in the volume group you can define them all in one line, don’t forget to add “/dev/dsk/cXtXdX)

#/sbin/vgdisplay /dev/vgNAME (display your newly created volume group)

# /sbin/vgdisplay -v /dev/vgNAME (display your newly created volume group with detail info)
