Hi,
Pls check below steps,
1)first check the device path for the PV which u r going to add in new vg
2)#pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c1t9d4
3)#make the vg directory using
#mkdir /dev/vg01
4)check the major and minor no of existing vg using
#ll /dev/*/vg
use the minor no greater than existing
5) #mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64
6)#vgcreate /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c1t9d4
7) if u want to extend the vg then extend it is
#vgextend /dev/vg01 /dev/dsk/c1t9d5
8)make the VG cluster aware
#vgchange -c y
9) Crate the map file
#vgexport -v -s -p -m /tmp/vg01.map /dev/vg01
10)rcp the map file on different node
#rcp -r /tmp/vg01.map node2:/tmp
===================================================
1) On node 2 use the following steps
2)#mkdir /dev/vg01
3)#mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64
Here use the minor no which used for vg01 on node1
4)check it using
#ls -l /dev/*/vg
5)#import the vg
#vgimport -v -s -m /tmp/vg01.map /dev/vg01
6)check it activating in read only mode it
#vgchange -a r vg01
============================================================
add the entries for new vg in cluser config file and pkg control file
distrbute according to your setup on HA/DR nodes
============================================Regards
