Configuring disk array devices

Disks in the disk array are configured using the same procedure for configuring any new disk on the
host. This includes the following procedures:
1.

Partitioning the devices

2. Creating the file systems
3. Creating the mount directories
4. Creating the mount table
5. Verifying file system operation
Creating scripts to configure all devices at once may save you considerable time.
Partitioning the devices
After the device parameters have been set, the next step is to set the partitions. To partition the devices:
1. Enter fdisk/dev/device_name.
Example
# fdisk/dev/sda
