pgcreate fails

I get the following when using vgcreate /dev/vg_11 /dev/dsk/c12s0d1
vgcreate: Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c12s0d1" is not a block special file

I have done pvcreate, mkdir, and mknod
Thanks

Re: pgcreate fails

I'm thinking your disk device should be /dev/dsk/c12t0d1.

Yes, not only one!

What is "pgcreate"?

Anyway, hope it is working now!

Hope this helps!
