Hari,

here is the steps
example:

1) lvcreate -L /dev/vg
-> it will tell you the lvol has been created

2) newfs -F vxfs /dev/vg/rlvol

3) mount /dev/vgXX/lvol /r34/data

Done.

Hi,

The simple steps are -

Detect the disk with

ioscan -fnCdisk

Identify the new disk then

pvcreate -f /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

Then create a new directory

mkdir /dev/r34

Then check the group file

check the group file
ll /dev/*/group

cd /dev/r34

create the new group files
mknod group c 64 [major and minor no ]

check weather the group file is created or not
ll

vgcreate /dev/r34 /new disk

then check with vgdisplay

then create the new logical volume with

lvcreate -L size -n data /dev/r34

create new mount point
mkdir new mount point name

create new file system on the mount point
newfs -F vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vgname/r[new mount point name]

Then mount it with

mount /dev/vgname/lvname /mount point name

Add the entry in fstab so in future if you reboot the server the mount point will be automatically mounted.

Thanks,
Avinash
