SolutionYou need to pvcreate your drive first.
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
If it still returns an error and your'e absolutely sure this drive isnt already in use then add the -f option
pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
Then create your vg.

Re: create vg01
You should start with
1. pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
Then use the above commands. The commands you have used are right.
After doing the pvcreate execute the
#vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0

Re: create vg01
Secondly I think you forgot to pvcreate the disk.
use pvcreate only if you are sure that the disk is not a member of the other vg i.e. vg00.
If you send an output of vgdisplay -v vg00 we can check.
after the pvcreate try again the vgcreate
good luck

Re: create vg01
Execute the following command :
# strings /etc/lvmtab and see that the /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 is not seen in the output.

Re: create vg01
Do a
#pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
to determine if there is an LVM structure on that disk.
If not then you need to do this before the vgcreate
#pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0 (Note: you may need a -f parameter if there's been an LVM structure on it in the past also note the "rdsk")
HTH,
Jeff

Re: create vg01
pvcreate: The physical volume already belongs to a volume group
# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0
Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c0t5d0" has been successfully created.
# vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c0t5d0
Increased the number of physical extents per physical volume to 1023.
Volume group "/dev/vg01" has been successfully created.
Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg01.cof
and what should I do next? I am trying to create a new file system, let say /dev/vg01/d01 and /dev/vg01/d02 and both will be mounted on /d01 and /d02 respectively.
Thanks.
