HPUX :Create a volume group version 2.0

Create a volume group version 2.0

Overview

Create a volume group version 2.0 with 8 disk, for pvg-strict/distributed.

Procedures

Create a volume group version 2.0 named /dev/vg09 with 8 physical volumes, an extent size of 256 megabytes and a maximum total size of 1 petabyte. #cat xp.out |grep -iE "4f:14|4f:15|4f:16|4f:17|5d:c4|5d:c5|5d:c6|5d:c7" /dev/rdisk/disk212           82  --- 24  CL5H  4f:14  OPEN-V           00065760   /dev/rdisk/disk173           82  --- 25  CL5H  4f:15  OPEN-V           00065760   /dev/rdisk/disk215           74  --- 26  CL6H  4f:16  OPEN-V           00065760   /dev/rdisk/disk225           74  --- 27  CL6H  4f:17  OPEN-V           00065760   /dev/rdisk/disk763           88  --- 88  CL1H  5d:c4  OPEN-V           00066657   /dev/rdisk/disk764           88  --- 89  CL1H  5d:c5  OPEN-V           00066657   /dev/rdisk/disk766           75  --- 8a  CL4H  5d:c6  OPEN-V           00066657   /dev/rdisk/disk770           75  --- 8b  CL4H  5d:c7  OPEN-V           00066657   # #cat RDISK |sed "s/rdisk/disk/" /dev/disk/disk212 /dev/disk/disk173 /dev/disk/disk215 /dev/disk/disk225 /dev/disk/disk763 /dev/disk/disk764 /dev/disk/disk766 /dev/disk/disk770 #cat RDISK |sed "s/rdisk/disk/" |while read disk > do > strings /etc/lvmtab|grep -w $disk > done #  Initialize the disks using pvcreate cat RDISK |while read disk > do > pvcreate  $disk > done Physical volume "/dev/rdisk/disk212" has been successfully created.

Physical volume "/dev/rdisk/disk770" has been successfully created. 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. #  vgcreate -V 2.0 -s 256 -S 1p /dev/vg09 /dev/disk/disk212  /dev/disk/disk173 Volume group "/dev/vg09" has been successfully created.
