Creating HP-UX
Host Logical 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.
