2.3 Configure Disks for mvEnterprise on AIX
AIX requires that you add new disks to one of the existing volume
groups, or create a new volume group and add the disks to that group
before those disks can be used. It is recommended that you create a
separate volume group for each disk in the mvEnterprise database.
Normally, an AIX system is delivered with only one of the disks added
to
rootvg
, and the other disks, while installed, cannot be used. To
identify them, issue an
lspv
command. For example:
If you want more detail about disks, use the
lsdev

one logical volume. The disk named
hdisk0
is already part of
rootvg.
The disks
hdisk1
and
hdisk2
cannot be used until they are added to new
volume groups.
To create a new volume group (we recommend one volume group for
each disk drive):
1. At an AIX command shell, type
smit

The

menu displays.
