3.3.3 How to Create a New Disk Group When Initializing Disks (VERITAS Volume Manager)

This procedure is only for initializing disks. If you are encapsulating disks, use the procedure "3.3.4 How to Create a New Disk Group When Encapsulating Disks (VERITAS Volume Manager)".

After adding the VxVM disk group, you need to register the disk device group.

1. Become superuser on a node of the cluster that is physically connected to the disks that make up the disk group being added.

2. Create the VxVM disk group and volume.

   Use your preferred method to create the disk group and volume.

   Note -

   If you are setting up a mirrored volume, we strongly recommend that Dirty Region Logging (DRL) be used to decrease volume recovery time in the event of a system crash.

   See the VERITAS Volume Manager documentation for the procedures to complete this step.
