Re: Vgcreate
Well, those are quite small...
This is typically what I use:
vgcreate -s 32 -p 128 /dev/vg21 /dev/dsk/c10t0d0
# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0:
vendor: DGC
product id: CX3-40WDR5
type: direct access
size: 524288000 Kbytes
bytes per sector: 512
The -s is for pe_size - if it isn't big enough - then you can't use large disks.
Default is 4 but vgcreate will automagically size it if you include the disk.
- p - physical volumes...
With setting this to 128 - you have room to grow.
