You didn't mention any details... but here's a plain vanilla w/ 16MB pe size.

mkdir /dev/vgaroot
mknod /dev/vgaroot c 64 0xNN0000
pvcreate /dev/rdsk/cNtNdN
vgcreate -s 16 /dev/vgaroot /dev/dsk/cNtNdN

For syntax and examples, man vgcreate

I use -p and -e as well:

-e max_pe
-p max_pv
-s pe_size

I use pe_size 32 so I can use bigger LUNS


vgcreate -s 32 -p 64 -e 32768 /dev/vg11 /dev/dsk/c25t12d3
