Hi

I am issuing the command on persistent device
HP-UX 11.31

sudo pvcreate /dev/rdisk/cxtxtdx

[merieux]

The persistant device have the following form :
/dev/disk/diskn

the disk /dev/disk/cxtxdx does not exist .

[Kapil Jha]

u r using sudo and it would not be having proper permission.
log in as root and do it...
sudo is the cause here.......
