Marking a raw LV as used for database

Hi. I'm just trying to mark a LV as used under HPUX V3... I used to be able to do this in SAM, but not sure how in SMH I'd do this.. I think, I could do it command line.. Getting the 2 ways would be nice.. but can't seem to find it by googling.

Thanks so much. :)

Shalom,

I have seen where soft links are set up from a file system to the raw disk areas. This makes you aware of their existence.

ln -s raw to_file_system

Re: Marking a raw LV as used for database

IMHO you can only use a name for this lvol that indicates the use or a big red cross in your printed documentation.

There are still some things IMHO that sam can do better than smh...

Hope this helps!

Re: Marking a raw LV as used for database

I've found what I'm looking for. Basically, this "mark as used" is more to tell ux NOT to show it as an available drive when extending a VG. I;ve just found it in the SMH web interface (see attachment).

Would still be nice to know how to do it command line... As something to do with a usetab file or something perhaps?
