How can I partition ST32151N on HP748i at HP-UX 9.05? Thank's.

You can use Logical Volume Manager

LVM

lvcreate creates a logical volume
lvextend extends the lv to a certain size.
newfs installs a filesystem.

Of course I learned on 11.00 so there might be variances, thats why I've not provided command syntax.

Hi,

9.05 was my favorite OS 8 years back. LVM is supported on 9.05. I wonder you are still using it. Look at the man page of "lvm" to understand it more. Basically you configure this disk into a volumegroup and create logical volumes of your desired size.

You will be using these commands in that order. pvcreate, mknod, vgcreate, lvcreate,mkfs. Look at those man pages for better understanding.
