Re: rx2660 = Hp-ux 11i v3 Unable to create volume group
You currently have already 2 spare disks - IMHO too much, 1 would be enough.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: rx2660 = Hp-ux 11i v3 Unable to create volume group
What do you want to do with a 280GB large logical drive? Creating vg00? This is overkill.
You have 2 spare disks, but none is assigned to the existing logical drive - maybe you used a wrong commend to configure?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

This vg00 280GB configured under hardware RAID 5 which consist of 3 SAS disks.
UNASSIGNED disk changed to SPARE disks with the help of below command.
