The vg_name directory and group file will be created automatically. Optionally, these files can be created
before doing the vgcreate, as follows:
mkdir /dev/vg09
mknod /dev/vg09/group c 128 0x009000
NOTE: Notice that the major number for a volume group version 2.0
or higher is 128 while the major number for a volume group
version 1.0 is 64. Also, the
volume group number occupies the
high order 12 bits of the minor number rather than the high order
8 bits as in volume groups version 1.0.
Create the volume group version 2.0.

Create a volume group version 2.0 of size comparable to a volume
group version 1.0 created with pe_size=64, max_pe=4096, and
max_pv=16 on an already initialized disk.
First calculate the appropriate vg_size parameter as follows:
max_pe x max_pv x pe_size=vg_size (in megabytes) 4096 x 16 x 64 =
4194304m = 4t. Now create the
volume group version 2.0.
vgcreate -V 2.0 -s 64 -S 4t vg10 /dev/disk/disk04
Display the minimum extent size required to create a 512 terabyte
volume group version 2.0.
vgcreate -V 2.0 -E -S 512t
