Creating HP-UX Host Logical Volumes
When you are satisfied with your
storage configuration, you need to create at least one logical volume
on the server.
The following steps are general
guidelines. For detailed information, read about creating logical volumes
in your HP-UX OS manual.
- Determine that the drives
are being recognized by the host by typing:
# ioscan -fnC disk
- Start a System Administration
Manager (sam) session.
- Choose Disks and File Systems
> Volume Groups.
- From the Actions menu at
the top of the window, click Create.
- In the Create New Volume
Group Name window, click Select New Volume Group Name, type a name for
the New Volume Group, and click OK.
- In the Create New Volume
Group window, click Select Disk(s), select the drive(s) that are going
to be in the Volume Group, and click OK.
- In the Create New Volume
Group window, click Define New Logical Volume(s).
- In the LV name field,
type a name for the logical volume.
- Using the value displayed
in the Approx Free Mbytes field, which specifies Mbytes left in the
volume group, specify the size of the new logical volume.
Although you can create multiple logical volumes, you must create
at least one. If you are creating one logical volume with the full
capacity of the volume group, type the number displayed in the Approx
Free Mbytes field. If you are creating multiple logical volumes, determine
the size of each and type the size of the first logical volume.
- In the Mount Directory
field, type the directory where you want to mount the logical volume,
and click Add.
- To add more logical volumes,
repeat Steps a-c.
- When you have finished
adding logical volumes, click OK.
- In the Create New Volume
Group window, click OK.
- When you have finished creating
logical volumes, close the Disk and File System window and close sam.
