Preparing Virtual Disks to Receive Data
2. When you are prompted to confirm the construction of a new file
system, enter
y
and press Enter.
3. Create a mount directory for the file system:
mkdir <
mount_ point>
Example:
mkdir /temp
4. Mount the file system:
mount /dev/dsk/
<disk_name><partition_number> <mount_point>
Example:
mount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0 /temp
This mounts the partition
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0
onto the mount
point /
temp
.
To verify that the files system was mounted, enter
df -k
.
This mount command is required every time the server is
rebooted. If preferable, you can have the file system mount
automatically at boot time by adding this mount command to the
/etc/vfstab
file.
Data can now be written to and read from the file system.
Unmount a File System
1. Make sure you are out of the mount point directory by entering
cd /
2. Enter
umount
<mount_point>
.
Example:
umount /temp
Save the PowerPath Configuration
Save the server’s PowerPath configuration:
powermt save
This command creates the
powermt.ctm
configuration file.
