Hi,

I’m unable to create a volume group for the below 2TB LUN.

/dev/rdisk/disk142       /dev/rdsk/c9t0d0

                                    /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0

scsimgr get_info -D /dev/rdisk/disk142 command given the below output.

Looks like it is presented not in hp-ux hostmode

The disk is OK.

Since you are running version 3, please try to

vgcreate -V 2.2 -s 64 -S 16t <vgname> /dev/disk/<persistent disk>

[srinivasvankina]

Then, How to present in HPUX mode?
