pvcreate whit va7100

[Jimmy_13]

I have a va7100, two fiber channel adapters whit LUN0,LUN1,LUN2,LUN3 and LUN4.
The LUNS was created whit the command view sdm.
The ioscan -funC disk is in the attached file.

I need to know how create the disk whit the pvcreate and then put in vg.

Thanks

Your best bet is to use 'sam'.

The command line is not that difficult, but I suggest you first plan exactly what you wish to achieve. Before you do anything you need to create the actual disk drive devices.

e.g

# cd /dev
# insf -e

Since you appear to be a novice at this, I suggest that you use SAM. Disks and Filesystems -> Volume Groups -> Actions -> Create.

You will get a chance to select devices/disk; match those to the hardware paths on your ioscan. You can add all of these LUN's to a VG or spread these LUN's over multiple VG's. You then all logical volumes and filesystems.

SAM is pretty foolproof at doing this.
