Re: How to Add new hard drives in server
1. add new disks to the server
2.do ioscan to findout the newly added disks
3. insf -eCdisk to create device file
4. pvcreate (eg. pvcreate /dev/rdsk/disk5)
5. create VG
mkdir /dev/vgname
mknod /dev/vgname/group c 64 0x0n0000
the minor number should be unique
use ll /dev/*/group to findout the exixting groupfile minor numbers
vgcreate /dev/vgname /dev/dsk/diskname.

Re: How to Add new hard drives in server
I think you are new to this stuff.
I recommend these steps.
How to add Hard drives in server.if this is not a SAN setup. if you have free local disk slots, then you will insert in those slots.
if your intention is just to increase the space.
login as root
# sam or (smh)
Scroll down to go to Disks and file Systems
here you can create volume groups, logical volumes etc.
its pretty easy.
