I want to create a 30Gb of size in three different disks 10Gb,5Gb and 15Gb respectively in VxVm , ..

Answer / arulkumar

Ex: Three different disks.
c0t0d0 -- 10Gb
c0t1d0 -- 5Gb
c0t2d0 -- 15Gb

#vxdctl enable
#vxdisksetup -i c0t0d0
#vxdisksetup -i c0t1d0
#vxdisksetup -i c0t2d0

Create a disk group.

#vxdg init -g <dgname> vxdiskname=c0t0d0
#vxdisk -g <dgname> adddisks vxdiskname=c0t1d0
vxdiskname=c0t2d0
#vxdg list -- Now we can see the newely created dg is
created to 30Gb

To see the maximum size of the volume;
#vxassist -g <dgname> maxsize

#vxassist -g <dgname> make <volume-name> <size-30G>
if it is ufs,
#newfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/volume-name

#mount /dev/vx/dsk/dgname/volume-name /mount-point

Answer / natraj

Ans: Ex: Three different disks.
c0t0d0 -- 10 GB
c0t1d0 -- 5 GB
c0t2d0 -- 15 GB

#vxdctl enable
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t0d0
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t1d0
#/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0t2d0

Create a disk group.

#vxdg init <dgname> disk01=c0t0d0
#vxdg -g <dgname> adddisk disk02=c0t1d0
#vxdg –g <dgname> adddisk disk03=c0t2d0
#vxdg list -- Now we can see the newly created dg that is
30 GB

To see the maximum size of the volume;
#vxassist -g <dgname> maxsize layout=layouttype

#vxassist -g <dgname> make <volume-name> <size-30G>
If it is vxfs,
#mkfs –F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/volume-name

#mount –F vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dgname/volume-name /mount-point

Answer / pavan

in creation of disks you don't have to specify -g with vxdg init
