Creating IBM AIX 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 IBM AIX OS manual.
- Determine that the drives
are being recognized by the host by typing:
# lspv
Ensure that the disks have been assigned a PVID (physical volume identifier).
This information displays in the second column. If no PVID is assigned,
the column displays None.
- If no PVID is assigned,
open smitty and choose Devices >
Fixed Disks >
Change /Show Characteristics > Assign
Physical Volume Identifier.
- In smitty, create a volume
group. Choose System Storage Management > Logical
Volume Manager > Volume Groups >
Add a Volume Group.
- In Smitty, create a file
system. Choose System Storage Management > File
Systems >
Add/Change/Show/Delete File Systems.
- Mount the logical volume.
