Creating a Disk Group (VxVM)

You can use either the vxdiskadm menus or the graphical user interface to create a new disk group. Alternately, you can use the command-line utility vxdg init.

Once the disk groups have been created and populated, each one should be deported by using the vxdg deport command. Then, each group should be imported onto the hot-standby node by using the -t option. The -t option is important, as it prevents the import from persisting across the next boot. All VxVM plexes and volumes should be created, and volumes started, before continuing.
