I think you have the initial 11.31 release from feb. 2007.

Use "swlist" to check.

So you have LVM 1.0 only.



But meanwhile I doubt about mknod command itself

>> xxxx:root/dev>which mknod
/sbin/mknod

Try

# file /sbin/mknod

# ll /sbin/mknod

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Doesn't create /dev/vg*/group file mknod command on hp-ux11i v3

mknod binary was empty when checked the file status
xxxx:root/sbin>file mknod
mknod: empty
xxxx:root/sbin>


Copied the binary "mknod" from other machine and re-run the mknod, it successfully create the group.

Thank you all for helping me to resolve the issue .
Specially thanks to Toresen and Prasanth Thomas for your valuable solution
