Re: Adding Extra HDD on B2000 workstation

Rajeesh,

Is the 9GB disk already installed on the server? Can you see it with "ioscan -funC disk"
Do you want to add it in vg00 or any other volume group.

Here is what you need to do.
pvcreate the disk.
add the disk in existing vg with vgextend or create new vg with vgcreate.
Create logical volume with lvcreate and create file system on the lv.

Hope this helps.
IT is great!
